I started 05:30am EST this morning, took 1 CL long at approx 112.81. Chart trader showed this trade on the chart, as usual.
Approx 30mins later (06:03) I added 2 CL contracts at 112.54 giving a better average. Chart trader then showed 3 lots long, and my average was shown as per normal (approx 112.63$).
06:13 I sold 2 lots, 112.73/.72 taking 10c profit on the average, stopped on remainder at about .63 (breakeven more or less on the average price).
So, a few hundred profit, nice I thought, 180$ or whatever.
Go into "Performance Summary" and generate report. Shows a 2340 net loss.... WTF ?
So, I go into the "Executions" tab to see what is going on....... I see my Executions listed there, from 05:30 exactly as I placed them... Hmmm. strange.
So then I notice the "Position" column to the right, inside "executions"... This states that my first entry of 1 contract at 05:30am actually put me into a position of 1S ? ? lol.... ummm. no, how the hell is that... it´s acting like I was in a 2S position from much earlier, so my 1 lot BUY put me to 1S as position... WTH ? There were no positions before 05:30am
In SIM on this platform. Am I ever going LIVE with it ? Doubtful. Anyone explain this seemingly "Ghost 2S" position I was in prior to my first trade of 05:30am this morning ? Unreal.
