Post From: URGENT - Random Positions Being Auto Entered without My Control - LMAX

Ok I have read this, but it does not explain how randomly SC showed me that suddenly out of nowhere an open position carried over from the day before appeared on my chart (to reiterate, suddenly and from nowhere), which kicked off the process of me "closing" this trade, which in fact was not real, which caused me to open a live position (which SC thought was actually closing a position)? This is what is mentioned in post #1.

Without this occurring, I would have never had to "close" the fake position, which kicked off the whole scenario.

My concerns stand:
- A fake position appeared suddenly from nowhere on my chart. This was a concern, so I closed this fake position thinking at the time it was real.
- By closing the fake position, it actually opened a live position which I then could not see on SC. I had to close the live position through the LMAX client portal!
- What's worse is the live position I opened through the flatten and cancel function I used to close the fake trade, had NO STOP ORDERS ATTACHED TO IT.

How does this document explain how this happened? Or did I not understand something here?
