First Issue: If I decide to close a position manually through TWS it does not update in the TPAP Study. The open position stays. I actually have to go into the Trade Activity Folder and delete the contents as well as the Backup folder to clear the TPAP.

Is it just the "Trade Position Average Price" study that has the issue, or are you missing the data in the Trade Activity Log?

If the Order Fill is not showing in the Trade Activity Log for manual change in TWS, then this is because TWS is not sending the information back to Sierra Chart. Refer to the following:
Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Orders Entered from Trader Workstation do Not Appear in Sierra Chart

Second Issue: This occurs intermittently and I cannot seem to figure out why. The Spreadsheet System for Trading will take a trade, and will close a trade (exactly as it should) but TPAP does not update.

We would need a specific workflow that can reproduce this. If you have something that you know causes this to occur, then let us know.

Third Issue: TPAP does not match The Trade Activity Log. See attached screenshot under a different posting for a current live shot.

Which is the correct value - 0 or 16979? In other words, which is correct, the Trade Positions Window or the "Trade Position Average Price" study?
