Post From: Reverse Button not reversing the trade

See if there is a file with a date in its file name that is far into the future and incorrect. That could be the cause of the problem. You will want to delete that files or files.
- Good news! This was the root cause of missing files. I had couple of files from 2023. I now have 3 weeks of accurate fills. tomorrow/Friday night I will download all fills from 2+yrs. I still feel "something" caused these local trade log dat files to corrupt last week. Before last week, everything was just perfect.

No definitely not. It does not matter where the order was submitted from.
- I beg to defer on this. I will try again to rule out this possibility now that the local files are all clean and working. EDIT: Another possibility could be a trade I had opened last thursday at 16:58 ET and carried over into the Asia session. This action along with flatten via web panel were the only two "unusual" actions I took on last Thurs/Fri.

This is not a problem. This is more than enough history.
- I beg to defer on this also. To calculate Monthly MFE/MAE and YTD Peak Equity levels (which I use), 3 weeks is not "more than enough history". With no ability to programmatically check in ASCIL whether fills could be missing or file corrupted, automated trading could be impacted without any alert or warning

We do not know any details about this, so we cannot answer the question:
- I think I know why. I had working orders which was preventing flatten (likely due to margin availability) but if this is truly why flatten was rejected then why am I allowed to flatten via a opposing side limit order of same size to flatten the open trade? Flatten via button has the same effect of closing the trade via opposing limit order. Anyways, this is not worth your time to investigate so bring closure.

There should not be any problem with this:
... this is the one that bothered me the most and messed me up big time. Frankly, this one has affected my confidence. I have been using SC since 2018 and this is the first episode of issues with fills using Teton.

and Lastly,
We will have a solution to the original presented scenario in the first post in the next release coming out this week:
- I appreciate and welcome this fix. Could you also enforce the Flatten logic within the Reverse button to honor my settings in M> Flatten Action menu? Currently, it is cancelling all my working orders even if I have set to M>Flatten Action>Flatten and Cancel Working Attached Orders.

Make sure you are running an up-to-date version of Sierra Chart.
I am on v2888 and plan to update once the fix to reverse button is released.

Super appreciative for your time. Thanks!
