but I don't think there is any indication when the 300 qty was originally initiated/shorted.
This cannot be true. In the case of simulated trading the positions are determined from the order fills.

This line makes it very clear there was an existing fill that can be found in the Trade Activity Log, causing a Position of -300 for the symbol and account also shown in the line below:
Order 2018-12-03 09:04:50.591 [Sim]ESZ8-CME ESZ8-CME 1 Min #40 User order entry. Flatten&Cancel Last: 2789.75. Current Position quantity: -300 11055 Market 300 Buy Order Sent Sim 1 Close -300

And that line also indicates that you did a Flatten and Cancel operation on chart number 40.
