Hello, I started having problems with Sierra chart not showing correct position. SC is calculating the position based on the last trade that it sees but it is incorrect. There are missing (manual) trades made in TWS in the Trade Activity Log. And SC assumes that the last downloaded trade was opening trade which is incorrect. Trade Positions window shows correct Position and opening price When I click "Refresh trade data from service" i get Interactive Brokers | Received Trade Positions download end message for account U185* | 2022-08-09 07:43:41.363 I am running latest SC version 2422 How can I get SC to show correct opening price in SC chart window? I did follow Trading Information Windows: Incorrectly Reported Trade Position Quantity already. thanks Josef |

We do not understand this. We see the same position being reported in the chart as the Trade Positions Window. So where's the problem?

Hi, the problem is that the chart shouw entry as 4120.75 but in reality the entry was at 4152.46 as shown in the trade positions table. The trading program will see a loss but in reality there was a profit. Eventually it closed the position due to stop loss. I think the whole problem started after there was a liquidation of position by IB due to margin. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-08-29 09:53:12
