Post From: Desynchronization between SierraChart and IB TWS

1) I checked these settings as you recommended:

Make sure Trade >> Use Fill Calculated Positions-Global is disabled/unchecked.
Make sure Trade >> Trade Simulation Mode is disabled/unchecked.

This is set correctly.

I wasnt using Order Fill Calculated Trade Position quantity before, so i tried enable it. I also set Date format in Chart >> Chart Settings >> Advanced Settings.

Suddenly when i enabled the option "Order Fill Calculated Trade Position quantity", Sierra chart was showing opened position 5 contracts, i attached screenshot. I had no opened postion with 5 contracts in TWS at this moment. On another attempt it opened 5 contracts short, which I was unable to close with flatten and cancel in Sierra, so I had to do it in TWS. This does not happen with paper account. This insta-open of a position happens every time I switch this setting on/off. Any ideas about this one?

2) What is really frustrating, i was trying "Flatten and Cancel" all position in chart and i reversed position several times instead closing. How it can be possible? So i had to do it via TWS.

3) I was trading with 2 IB accounts (one master, one sub account) on one computer. I had two same positions in 2 IB accounts and 2 Sierra chart platforms. This problem is related with master account. Sub account connected to second sierra chart was correct. The same settings in Sierra charts and TWSs. Have you any idea please ?
EDIT: 3) Might be solved, since there were not any Instance Client IDs in any of my sierra chart instances. It is there now, so I hope that could solve it.
