Open quantity is wrong too !!!
What's happening with 1890/1891 ?
Thanks for your help

Nothing has changed in this regard with the Trade Activity Log.


We see you are using Interactive Brokers. This would have to do with duplicate order fills in the case of when using Interactive Brokers. That can potentially be a problem due to the more strict comparison for duplicate fill detection. We are going to disable the downloading of historical order fills for Interactive Brokers. When we do that, the next step would be simply to remove the duplicate fills.

So to be clear this is an Interactive Brokers specific issue.

In regards to the open quantity, refer to:

You are right : for mysterious reason, IB sent to SC "IB historical fills data (Restored)" which cause the duplicated and triplicated ordes (?!), within the same second but not at the exact same time (couple of hundreds of milliseconds discrepancy) SC was correctly aknowledging executed orders.
No disconnection was noticed and appeared in the "Trader activity" log.
I deleted duplicate orders and all is correct now.
Looks like weird intereaction from IB...

For those duplicates were the symbols different? There would need to have been an exact match.
