For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to disable this feature. My positions are flattened at 11:29 am pst everyday and I have disabled this feature in the global PnL mgmt section.

I thought maybe it was a spreadsheet for trading I was testing for a while with this feature enabled. I need help isolating where this is generating so I can disable it.

Let me know if I need to attach my chartbooks. Thanks

This is on the A tab of the Trade Window:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: A >> Flatten And Cancel at Set Time

We need to know the origin of the order flattening the position. Instructions:

I am having the same issue. I have disabled 'flatten & cancel' in trade window, and global PnL management.

This occurs daily at 13:29, and the only info under 'OrderActionSource' in the trade activity log is the following: Unable to Flatten or Reverse because a Position does not exist.

I found the issue - Several other charts in my chartbook (besides my trading time-frame) still had 'flatten & cancel at time' on in respective trade windows.

We will make sure the logging, even in this case, shows the source of the flatten operation.
