Post From: refresh position data

Sorry to resurrect this old post, but, this is occurring regularly for me. The bigger issue is, of course, that I'm being entered into positions when I hit the "Flat" button. Usually, this isn't a problem. But, occasionally, SC sees a position open even though it isn't and I end up in a trade. Has this been fixed, or, is there still an issue due to IB's connection limitations?

I'm a bit perplexed how this is happening and why there isn't a programmatic fix for this. If I flatten from my position, what's happening to cause a phantom order to appear again? I'm assuming that the position data hasn't sync'd yet with IB. But, isn't there a way for SC to track position entries and exits within the platform itself and validate first before establishing a new position with the "Flat" command?

FYI: I'm running the latest SC software with Denali data feed and IB order routing. At some point, I'll be moving to Teton.
