For some time now, I've been dealing with an issue where all positions in my account flatten at 1541EST. I've been primarily paper trading, and regardless of the paper account I'm using, the same issue occurs. I've checked global settings and A trade settings across accounts and charts - all "flatten & cancel" options are checked to disabled. Please advise. Thanks in advance!

Within the Sierra Chart software there are two places that a "Flatten and Cancel at Set Time" can be setup. Refer to the following:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: A >> Flatten And Cancel at Set Time

Global Profit/Loss Management: Flatten Positions at Set Time

And it looks like you are using the Trading Evaluator for your simulated trading, in which case there is a way to set this for that option as well. Refer to the following instructions for adjusting margins for a Trading Evaluator account:
Simulated Futures Trading Service: Margin Requirement Adjustments

Follow those instructions but at Step #4 go to the "User Profit/Loss Management" tab and find the section for "Flatten Positions at Time".
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
