Post From: Open Order not Matching Stops, Targets and Chart

Ok.
Attached is a video of the trade sequence. That might make some more sense. I will outline what I see as the discrepancies from the chart, and the trade activity.

Here is what happens in the video.

1.  I initiated a limit order for 8 contracts with a child stop of 8 and two child targets 4 & 4 (total of 8 for targets).
2.  The chart says I got filled for 6 contracts.
3.  The chart indicates there is a left over buy limit order for 4 contracts. Why 4 contracts?
4.  And the stop exit is just plain confusing. Price goes through the stop and supposed 4 contract order (which should have filled 4 contracts), but then updates and says there was only 2 contracts and the target and stop updated accordingly. And then it just trades out at break even?

The Trade Activity says;

1.  I initiated a limit order for 8 contracts with a child stop of 8 and two targets 4 & 4 (total of 8 for targets).
2.  It confirms I was filled for 8 contracts.
3.  From there it might be good for you to step in and take a look as there is obviously an issue.

My questions
1.  Why was I filled for 8 contracts as per the trade report, yet the chart showed 6.
2.  Why if I was filled for 6 contracts would the remaining position still be 4 anyway? Should not the partial fill of 6 contracts leave a remaining 2 contracts on the chart?
3.  Why when the stop was hit, was the order not filled for 4 contracts (which was wrong anyway) but then updated to 2 contracts?

Please reconsider having a look at this.
