Well there is another unusual thing happening. When there is an open trade in one or both copies even though in reality there are no positions open in IB I don’t want to have to flatten them in Sierra which would cause unnecessary commissions. So what I was trying to do to clear out the open positions in Sierra was to delete all the data in the Trade Activity Log. That worked well for the short side copy that had an open trade. But the long side Sierra copy let me delete all activity but still there is one open long position in the Trade Window and on the chart itself. I went to the folder where that copy is installed and opened the ListedTradeOrders.xml file and nothing was listed there, but when I opened the TradePositionData.xml all my real positions at IB were listed as well as the one that is not really open at IB which is what I was using to experiment with this. The M6E-201806-GLOBEX symbol is still listed as open even though in reality it is not in IB. I have Download Historical Fills on Connect set to False in both copies. So I deleted it from the XML file and saved it by overwriting the file in the Sierra application folder. That did not clear the long position from the Trade Window and when I opened the XML file again it was still there so it reloaded it apparently from somewhere. Do you know where this long position that is not really at IB is stored in Sierra so I can go delete it? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-06-05 15:42:43
