Global Loss Management: Position being flattened after expected time

Hi,

My position was flattened today immediately after I put on a trade at 2300 CST. I set the Global profit/loss management to close out any positions at 1509:50 CST, so I'm not sure why it's closing my position.

Thanks for any help.

We have to think about this and implement completely safe logic for this.

Had you made any changes to the Flatten Positions at Set Time >> Flatten Time setting around when this happened?

I did not. I had previous issues with the same sort of thing, but everything was fine after I updated (a prior support thread).
I also traded last night without an issue, though it was after midnight and before the 1509 close, so I'm not sure if that matters.


Also, I started a second instance of SC (pointed to a different broker), with the same parameters set, and it did not close out the trade.


In the second instance of SC, I made no trades yesterday after midnight (while I did so in the first instance of SC, as described above).

OK, we are working on this now. We are re-implementing the logic of this to make sure something that this cannot possibly happen.

Not sure why did happen though.
