Post From: Stop Loss Orders Stay On SC For Short While After Filled

I am using OCO orders. Two questions/issues.....after in the trade the two orders are active (Target and Stop). When one side eventually gets hit (e.g., stop loss side), the order shows up on SC as now filled in the opposite direction.....but, every thing works fine on the brokerage side (IB). For a short period of time it looks like I have a position going the opposite way....and then it disappears after about 5 to 10 seconds. How to set up SC so that the order disappears immediately once it is executed and I am actually "flat" in the market? Secondly, when I enter my limit order to get in the market, a line is shown on SC where my entry order is...but once it is filled, this entry level line disappears. It used to remain and show me my profit/loss, etc. How can I get it to remain on SC chart until the position is exited?
