Post From: Why are simulated trade positions going flat with 3 sec of trade?

I am new to SC, and in my trial period. I'm learning the software while linked to my IB paper trading account. I have turned off SC simulated trading mode, so that trades are passed to the IB paper trade account. When I execute a trade via the SC chart the trade execution appears on both the SC chart and the IB screen. The trade execution labels appear on the chart and remain. The trade position initially appears in the chart trade window - showing the pos and P&L - but then the position shows as Flat within 2 sec. It is not really flattening the position as it remains in the IB window. Any insight you can provide on why it would do this would be helpful.
