Hi, I'm developing an external application that communicates with Sierra Chart through the DTC Protocol Server. I've isolated what appears to be a discrepancy between the DTC POSITION_UPDATE messages and the position shown by Sierra Chart itself. Environment Sierra Chart current version Service: Teton CME Routing Clearing Firm: Phillip Capital Trade Account: Sim1 DTC JSON Protocol Server One chart for MNQU26_FUT_CME Expected behavior I expected unsolicited POSITION_UPDATE (Message Type 306) to represent the same position shown in: Trade Window Chart Position Line Trade Position for the specified Trade Account. What I observe The Sierra Trade Window and Chart Position indicate one position while the DTC server reports another. Example: Trade Window: Trade Account: Sim1 Position: Flat DTC Server reports: { "account": "Sim1", "symbol": "MNQU26_FUT_CME", "quantity": 5, "requestId": 0, "unsolicited": true, "updateKind": "live", "sourceMessageType": 306 } The message is unsolicited (requestId = 0). |
