My orders seem to be backwards. I made a few trades and were fine but now every time a position closes/stops out, a position is opened at that level. I try to flatten but it says no position exists. See attached image. A position is open even though the service log says otherwise. How do I close this before I lose a lot of money?

If you need to get out of a position, check with your broker to ensure that it is closed and that you do not have any open positions.

The issue is that you have a missing order fill for some reason. You will need to go through and find the missing fill and then add it manually to close out what is missing. Refer to the information here:
