When there is a position in TWS, it is correctly reflected in the Trade Positions Window. There is a potential inconsistency between the Trade Positions Window and the Trade Activity Log if trades are opened or closed manually through TWS. This does not update in the Trade Activity Log, which, given that it was not done through Sierra is not really an error. Since it doesn't update in the Trade Activity Log it also doesn't update the Trade Position Average Price Study. I think I have found a workaround solution to this. If I simply edit the Trade Activity Log manually whenever I take a manual trade through TWS, it seems to also update the TPAP. (this is what I really need, a correct TPAP in order to have a stop loss to my trading system) This seems to fix the problem without deleting the actual Trade Activity log entirely. I will let you know if this does not work in the future. It would seem to me that a warning might be helpful here, when the Trade Activity Log does not equal the Trade Position Window. Also, perhaps a Study that would initiate a manual trade through Sierra would be helpful. (a Close Position button) Anyway, thanks for your help here. I have been able to solve a major issue that would have had significant consequences to my system.
