I purchased NT8 over this past weekend after testing it out for a few months. I've searched the forum for an answer, and it seems like a lot of folks had API issues with TDA last year, but the last post I saw indicated that those had mostly been cleared up. Today I was going to attempt my first live trade against one of my TDA accounts manually to check how the platform operates. Note that I have 2 TDA accounts connected to NT8. I submitted a chart trader order which filled, and then a few minutes later submitted the exit order that also filled (no issues). It shows both transactions filled within the console under the orders tab, the executions tab, and the log tab.
Later in the day I made a few trades on my other TDA account using the Think or Swim desktop platform (NOT NT8). As usual these trades worked fine. This evening, as I was reviewing strategy trades on my sim account in NT8, I happened to click on the Positions tab, and for some reason the positions are still showing Open from BOTH live TDA accounts. I honestly had no idea that trades made outside of the NT8 platform would even get sent across the API to NT8, but apparently they do. Regardless, can you please tell me why these positions are showing in the Open status, while at the same time you can clearly see that they were closed on the Orders, Executions, and Logs tab?
Thanks,
Sam
