Hi Jon,

Sorry to bother you again. Yesterday I placed an order on ES (S&P500) at 12:07 Long, 1 contract @ 7724. This was scheduled to fill after 30 ticks (7731.5) at around 12:20. For some reason the order wasn't taken. Can you please look into this one as I believe it was recorded by Rithmic but the balance on the account was not updated so I suspect there is an open issue.

I have attached an image from the chart, an image from the Rithmic account (showing the trade) and the log from SC.

Many thanks

Rob

If Rithmic recorded the trade and being Rithmic provides the account balance, then this is a question for Rithmic. Not Sierra Chart.

It sounds like you are saying that the order properly closed, but it is not showing this in Sierra Chart.

This is not unusual with Rithmic, as they are not reporting the closed position properly, so Sierra Chart does not know anything about it.

In this case, the easiest thing is to add the Order Fill that closes the position manually. Refer to the following:
Trade Activity Log: Manually Inserting Missing Order Fills

The other option is to set your Chart to only show the Order Fills from beyond that point - essentially ignoring that trade in the chart. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Order Fills Start Date-Time (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)
