I shorted $HOG today and it didnt feel right so I decided to flatten. Everytime I pushed flatten I noticed it bought 100 shares of $HOG. How could this happen?

We see you are using Interactive Brokers.

This is a current problem we are aware of:

When an IB execution message is received from Trader Workstation which indicates an order fill, the Total Filled Quantity field is zero which leads to the following issues:

- An overfill error occurs.
- The fill is not logged. This also affects any profit/loss calculations which depend on this.
- The internal position quantity is not immediately updated and will be updated eight seconds later.

This is something Interactive Brokers needs to solve.

Is this a fairly new problem or something that they have been aware of?

IB said they had fixed the issue in TWS but I would like to find out if Sierra chart has had any further instances like this lately?

Thanks for your service!

No, there are no further problems with this and the latest versions of Sierra Chart also have a patch to prevent any problem when the Total Filled Quantity order field is not set.
