Close order in NT just cancels stop and target orders in IB

[101239]

Two things happened to me today:

I opened a position in the ES future. I then close it on NT but all it does is it deletes both profit and stop loss orders on IB TWS without closing the trade.

Then I try to close on TWS and I backfires sending some kind of order that opens 4! contracts on NT and consequently to IB TWS. Leaving me the only option of closing NT and only then I could close my positions.

May I send a log file to you to know what happened? There are errors in the log such us "cancel attempted when order is not in a cancellable state" External rejected, external cancelled, and then four fills.

I sent the log file two days ago and an email confirming I had sent it correctly.

Could you tell me something about it? have you found anything?

Thank you.
