SC is creating a phantom oder that causes the DOM P&L to be incorrect

I'm connected to R trader (Rithmic Dirrect - DTC Trading) with Teton. When I place an order on the SC DOM it is correctly handled and recognized by R trader. When I exit the trade the result (entry, exit, P&L) is correct in R trader, but SC creates a random position (order) and closes it and then calculates the P&L incorrectly. (eg. I have an order for 2 contracts at 10AM and I close the order for 2 contracts at 1015, but SC only closes one of the 2 and picks up a random contract from earlier that never existed.) Everything in R trader is correct regarding the quantity, entry, exit and P&L so Teton and SC are communicating correctly. According to the SC DOM there were no open orders; I have even done a flatten and close all prior to beginning trading for the day.
This does not happen in sim, only when connected by Teton to R Trader.

You can close this. I had to delete the data, and make the suggested changes in the beginning date/time. It was not an elegant solution, but it was just too time intensive and the trade data was available elsewhere.
Thanks.
