Last week I took a trade on MES, when price hit my target I had an internet gap so the trade was closed in my broker (IB) but not in Sierra Chart. So now, I always have a non-existing order..
For example, now I have a non-exisiting short (file attached). If tomorrow I take a long, that trade will be closed with a huge lose in sierra chart, and when target get hitten, it will be open a new short.
I tried to flatten, but it open a new trade on my broker.

How could reset that data? No matter if I lose all trade activity log.

That is a position not an order.

Make sure you are not using the Order Fill Calculated Position:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Using Order Fill Calculated Trade Position Data for Independent Position Tracking

Otherwise, refer to:
Trading Information Windows: Incorrectly Reported Trade Position Quantity
