Hello, I have checked both alternatives you have offered and everything is allright. So I have contacted IB support and they insist it is matter of 3rd party SW. Here is their reply:

"We provide functions via the API which allows third party programs to query what are your current positions, what are your current open orders. It is at the responsibility of the third party to properly monitor/manage and view these details by using the available functions at hand.

How to monitor current positions?
IB offers several methods which can be queried by a third party. The following URL outlines all of the available functions:
https://interactivebrokers.github.io/tws-api/positions.html
How to monitor current open orders?
IB offers a method called reqOpenOrders() which will relay back all of the current open orders you have.

Please note there are no current issues with regards to IB's APis on how to monitor current positions and open orders. I will encourage you to contact Sierra Charts again to help understand what they can do to assist you with their software to ensure it is properly monitoring these details.

Pls. let me know what can I do. It really happens only when I shut down both programms and reopen them next day after the position has finished. During the day all works fine.
