Post From: Poor reliability when trading options

Just as a quick update on a couple things I've noticed:

Under "Trade Orders and Positions - Trade Stats for Charts" tab it shows an open quantity of +1 for the symbol APL-OPT-20140103-560-C-SMART-100-USD. This symbol matches my the symbol used for chart data. (Apparently I can't copy and paste from this part of the TOaP window.)

Under the "Positions" tab it shows "Symbol  Quantity  Trade Account  Trade Service Average Price  Trade Service Position Quantity  
AAPL-OPT-20140103-560-C-AMEX-100-USD  1  DU157477  4.25465  1"

When I go to that chart and right click and hit "Flatten and Cancel" I get an error saying "Trade Order Error: Unable to Flatten or Reverse because a position does not exist for the symbol: AAPL-OPT-20140103-560-C-SMART-100-USD | 2013-12-30 11:49:54"

So it would look like the member "PositionQuantity" refers to the info in "Position" tab - would this issue get resolved if it instead referred to the "Trade Stats for Charts" tab? Or if the "Position" tab also showed the chart symbol instead of the actual exchange on which the order was filled (AMEX)?
