Hi!
I am using spreadsheet autotrading functionality with SC.
If there is no position taken after setup is initiated, all orders are canceled.
Today on EURJPY there were no take profit and stop loss orders when I checked my positions.
In trade activity log current position quantity was suddenly with no apparent reason set to 0, which initiated canceling of all open orders.
Can you please explain what could be the possible cause?
Thanks

Yes...
I think the solution would be to use - Use Fill Calculated positions - global.
The only problem is that I cannot set some positions (EURUSD, USDJPY and EURJPY) to 0 (because I closed last positions directly via IB not through SC), even though I set global settings - general trade settings - no. of days to save in trade activity log to 5 and chart settings - advanced settings - orders fill start date-time to yesterday...
Do you have an idea what could be the problem?
Thanks
