Knowing you are using Interactive Brokers is very relevant.

In the next release, we will be formatting the symbol for trade positions from Interactive Brokers as follows:
[Underlying Symbol]-OPT-[Expiration Date (YYYYMMDD or YYYYMM)]-[Strike Price]-[Call or Put]-[Exchange]-[Multiplier]-[Currency Code]

This should solve the problem, as long as you specify the option symbol in this format, and you should not have to rely upon the Order Fill Calculated Position.
