which of the two position values will update faster to a new order fill?
These update at the exact same time from an order fill. It does not matter about the trading service. Trading services will separately report the position, and that normally is going to come after the fill, but the position quantity in Sierra Chart does immediately update from the order fill. When the position update comes from the trading service that updates what is called the Service Position Quantity on the Position data:Trading Information Windows: Positions Window Fields Although inherently Interactive Brokers has all kinds of position related reporting issues and can only be considered, unreliable. Mismatch problems are common. The best source of information is from us only: I am particularly interested in hearing from other users' experience with Teton and with Interactive Brokers regarding any temporary mismatches between position and fills-implied position.
Users will only give you inaccurate, misleading or distorted information based on lack of understanding (which is understandable).
