1.
Suddenly when i enabled the option "Order Fill Calculated Trade Position quantity", Sierra chart was showing opened position 5 contracts,
If you are currently flat at this time, you will need to set the Order Fill Start Date-Time in Chart Settings, to a time which is after the current time. Going forward it should accurately track your position, assuming that there are no missed or inaccurate order fills.

. 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.
Why do you say this? If a chart is showing a nonzero Trade Position quantity, Flatten from that same chart will send a market order to flatten.

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.
Assuming we understand what you are saying, this does does make sense if the Order Calculated Position is inaccurate. And you need to fully understand how it works.
