Tradeactivitylog.dat - IB - Positions sync issue

SC team - I recently lost a copy of SC trading against IB ( and latest tradeactivitylog.dat files etc associated with it).

- I found an old install of IB ( which has old tradeactivitylog.dat & tradepositionData.xml)
- launched SC/IB from this old install
- Client ID set to '0'
- Issued "Refresh Trade Data from Service" command
- The Orders/Position tab shows the correct IB positions but doesn't reflect the same in the chart ( shows old positions)
- renamed the tradeactivitylog.dat & tradepositionData.xml files to see if the latest data gets fetched from IB). But with this condition - no position data is displayed.

How to get the latest positions data visible on the chart for IB in this condition?

Thanks

SC Team - I went through the link.

In my case - I actually see the positions correct in "Trade >> Trade Orders and Positions >> Positions tab" - just that chart doesn't reflect the position correctly.

Atleast in my case I didn't experience any issues with SC/IB integration as IB account is mainly used for Equities trading. The issue came in only due to I have lost the SC install and associated TradeActivity & TradePositions data and need a way to update the positions information in SC.

Just need a way manually edit the position information as a one time task.

Even in this case - if your position stands the same about support - it's fine.

Thanks

Thank you SC team.

My issue was resolved by unchecking - "Trade >> Use Fill Calculated Positions-Global".

In the past - For some reason I preferred to use this option earlier and hopefully disabling this doesn't cause any issues in long run.

Thanks
