Hi, on the 16 December 2016, I went long 2 contracts of Jan 2017 expiry crude oil future contract at 51.08 for both contracts respectively. The 2 contracts have an OCO order attached to it and I was stopped out sold 2 contracts at 51.00 and 50.99. I thought I was flat and switched to sim mode right after that, but it became evident to me today that I had an opened position running since Friday itself. I spoke to IB and they told me that I apparently opened a short position at 50.99 4 seconds after I was stopped out. On top of that, it was a simple order with no OCO attached to it which should never occur because I always have an attached order with the parent order when I trade live. My question is, is there a way to find out if this is an error trade because I find it impossible that I would open a fresh short position right after I was stopped out 4 seconds later. Attached it the trade confirmation report from IB with the timestamp for your reference. Thanks.
