Post From: POSITION QUANTITY - Spreadsheet for Trading - J8 position quantity error

Simple program using Spreadsheet for Trading. In simulated trading, the program works perfectly. Position quantity (J8) functions perfectly.

When I switch to live trading, position quantity resets immediately to zero. This is normal and OK. After a trade takes place, J8 on spreadsheet reads the correct quantity. BUT it will suddenly reset to zero????

For this program, I am using Interactive Brokers for my data and trade feed, with "allow support for Sierra Chart Feeds" set to NO

Works fine in SIM, dies a horrible death in live trading. My program depends on J8 to tell it what it needs to do next. I have tried "trade management by study" and the spreadsheet started with a position of 28. Where that came from is questionable but it's incorrect and of no use.
