    Limit orders are filled twice on FXCM live account

    I have a complex unmanaged strategy, which I'm developing for some time. It works on limit orders. It was tested on SIM account for several months and all was working well. But the moment it is switched to FXCM live account, then every limit order is being filled twice, which ends up with NinjaTrader crash.
    I have a second similar strategy, which places market orders and there is no problem with it. They both share the same order processing logic. Only limit orders are affected.
    I've extracted an example of such behavior for a single transakction from trace and log files and documented individual steps, but I'm unable to figure out, what is causing the problem.
    Would you be so kind to take a look on trace and log file I've prepared? Could I send them to you by e-mail? Maybe you would be able to come up with an idea, that would allow to troubleshoot the issue.

      Hello Alan,
      Thank you for your time. After investigetion I've found the root cause of the problem. It turns out, that a Live account generates 2 'filled' signals for every fill, when a SIM account generates only 1 signal. For example SIM account doesn't generate Sell short order with Limit price=0 and Buy to cover signal with Stop price=0. Strategy logic wasn't prepared for such situation.

      So I'd done additional coding to filter those signals and now all is working fine.
      Code:
      [B]Example for a limit order:[/B]
      if (order.IsLimit && order.LimitPrice == 0)
          return;
