Post From: Open position quantity doesn't match actual position size

Dear Support, I am trading with IB/SC connection and use SC's own data and using advisor accounts. I use the 'Use order fill calculated positions' option to be able to correctly execute and display positions when trading on multiple accounts with a single click. Until now I haven't experienced any issues (other than random duplicate orders what I am still investigating). Currently I became aware that the longer term multi-day positions I have and initiated from Sierra's DOMs, are showing incorrect position size. All my resting order sizes are correct, but the display of the existing position's size is half the actual position. This caused a closed trade to be shown as a reversed trade because although the trade was flat when the resting stop order filled, the DOM (where the trade was initiated some days ago) shown and tracked the incorrect open position size. So it displayed a new position what I mistakenly closed on the same DOM and created a new position. Right now the Orders and Positions window display the correct amount for the existing trade but the DOM where I initiated the trade shows half the position size. During the past week I upgraded SC to the most recent versions so I guess this has an impact on the display mode. Can you please give some hints regarding what to do/how to execute trades to avoid this to happen again? Also how to manage the existing positions to avoid reversing the existing position when closing it (either manually or by a an existing resting order)? Please see attached the screenshot of the DOM and the Orders & Positions window content. Thank you. 2018.10.14 18:07:39 update: In them meantime I was able to manage everything on individual DOMs linked to separate subaccounts and turning off Use order fill calculated positions and cancelling then replacing all existing resting orders.
