Hi, I updated SC for the fix listed above (currently running 1067), but I'm still having problems getting my options positions to close. My code running on the options charts basically says "if PositionQuantity != 0 && "x" happen, then flatten the position." Well "x" is happening, but the positions are not flattening, assumedly because the system still thinks there is no position when there actually is one. Under 'Trade Orders and Positions' my option positions do show correctly even with the "Use Order Fill Calculated Position" turned off, so that's a step in the right direction. But my charts still don't show an open Profit/Loss line with the "Show Orders and Position" option checked, which suggests it thinks there is no position associated with that chart. Could this still have something to do with the fact that my chart uses "SMART" as the exchange and the actual position is "AMEX" (whatever the actual exchange is)? i.e., Chart symbol: AAPL-OPT-20140103-560-C-SMART-100-USD and actual position symbol: AAPL-OPT-20140103-560-C-AMEX-100-USD Again, I'm using IB. Please let me know if any additional information would be useful to diagnose the issue.
