Post From: Strange message and position behaviour on CL with CQG demo and DTC SubInstance

Okay, so this occured while trialing the CQG feed as a demo. The CL chart/chartbook was open in a DTC SubInstance. On the main/server instance there were two chartbooks (S&P mini and Nikkei mini) both of which behaved normally.

At the very instance that this message log popped up on the CL Sub Instance and the CL position and profit points went haywire and my Chart Trader entry line went missing; I had just hit 'Reverse' on the Trade Window for S&P mini on the main/server instance. Not sure this can be related and maybe coincidental.

What do the CL error messages mean and why has the position and profit points gone to silly numbers and why has the entry marker disappeared?

Even the Position information in the Trade Window makes no sense: its says Short 8 contracts @ 1087.32 which is not even close to being a meaningful CL price.

I did eventually move my profit target down to market price and as soon as it closed that it showed the trade entry line saying I was naked short 4 contracts.

The problem was all fixed by disconnecting and restarting the sub instance.

I know this is demo, but it has got me a little worried if this unusual behaviour could have occured while Live.
