I was checking Trade >> Trade Orders and Positions >> Positions tab while having the problem. There was Quantity "+1" for the YM contract. I tried a lot of ways how to get rid of the +1 (because I was flat in IB), but nothing helped. I tried: - Refresh Trade Data button - disconnect/connect Sierra - even restart Sierra Nothing helped - I still had that position in Sierra. Because I needed to continue trading I then used Position > Clear Selected Position Data while I did have selected YM and got rid of the position. The same I did with the other markets I traded and got into the same problem (stocks). Need to say however, that this problem did not occur in every trade. I think it depends on what kind of way I used to get out of the position. When I used "flatten" button, the position ended correctly. Even if the position ended on submitted stop order (as stop-loss) it did ended correctly. However if I exited via limit order I got into this trouble.
