First the safest thing to do is to use the order fill calculated position:
Trading Information Windows: Using Order Fill Calculated Positions In Special Cases

You should check it each day to make sure it is correct though. And understand that it is based on order fills and adjust the Order Fills Start Date-Time in the chart and periodically update this to ensure the calculation is correct.

In this way you will not have any further problems with IB position reporting.

And also it is well-known there are position reporting problems with Interactive Brokers:
Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Trade Position Line or Quantity Disappearing or Displaying Zero

This is why we put out this posting:
***Interactive Brokers is Garbage*** (Technical Support is Now Fully Ended!!)

Please read what we have said in that link above carefully. We mean every bit of it. Every part of it. And we reaffirm everything we say.
