Hi there,

On the chart my initial trade of the day is matched to the previous day's close fill (i.e. my last trade close) and throws off all the fills and positions accordingly.
On the trade activity log it is matching the open / close trades correctly.
The trade activity log seems to show the right open quantity and positions for the trades.

Additionally when I go to close the chartbook and exit out of SierraChart, I notice it now tells me I have open positions with the trading service, even though its closed. This has been happening for a couple of weeks now. (I do have other holdings so thought nothing of this but this did not happen before)

I am on Interactive Brokers. I do switch between sim, paper account, and live account but the I use the sim/account filters on the trade activity log, and the trades and summary P&L are accurate.

Follow up - I managed to get the fills to match correctly by setting the
Order Fills Start Date
Order Fills Start Time

Do i need to update this manually if I want to review historic trades on the chart?

When I set the "Load Order for Current Day Only", it does not show me the historic fills when I scroll back to review trades from previous day.

Refer to the information here about this:

It is something you do have to look at and make sure it is correct:
