I use 2 instances of Sierra Charts on 2 different computers with 2 separate Interactive Brokers accounts.
Each instance of Sierra Chart uses a separate Interactive brokers API .
One instance works perfectly both in SIM and Live modes.
But another instance works fine in SIM mode but have the following consistent problem in live mode.
Trade position Line and quantity disappearing after a few seconds . All orders are sent and executed correctly to Interactive brokers.

This problem related only to second instance of Sierra Chart on 2nd computer. I logged in to the first Interactive Broker account on 2nd machine and had the same issue of trade position line and quantity disappearing after a few seconds. So it is not related

Refer to:
Interactive Brokers Trading Service: Trade Position Line or Quantity Disappearing or Displaying Zero

Basically do not rely upon Interactive Brokers Trade Position data. Use the Order Fill Calculation Position data instead:
