Hi, on may 15th I was trading as normal and after taking a stop, my position got reentered even though I did not hit the button. Took it off several times, but kept re-entering. Closed down Sierra, and after I opened it again I had as many as 4 contracts on. This is very strange since I always trade with global position limit 3 contracts. This is rithmic paper trading, and the glitch made me fail my Earn 2 trade account. According to E2T, the trades came from Sierra.

In the attachment only the first part (Rithmic) is relevant.

Ok, thanks.

I have checked the log and where the glitch occurs, and it is recorded that I several times tried to flatten and cancel, it says in the end (under OrderActionSource) that "New order originated from external service". What does that mean?

It looks like you are showing the Trade Activity Log from a sub instance. That is the reason you see the message at the end. You also tried to flatten the position multiple times.

Do not be people realize, why we are terminating support for Rithmic. One of the problems is position reporting with that service. We have seen this before.
