Not sure what you are referring to. Please provide more information. Thank you.

Please use TraceOrders = true and print those logs here. Please also provide the code snippet being executed. Thank you.

if (reversalPrice != null)
{
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long && Close[0] >= reversalPrice)
{
SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks, 5);
EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "Scalp sell");
EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "Sell short");
reversalPrice = null;
}
else if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short && Close[0] <= reversalPrice)
{
SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks, 5);
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "Scalp buy");
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "Buy");
reversalPrice = null;
}
}

I did not have my output window open when it occurred this time. I will have it open and print the logs the next time it happens.

"Profit Target" was the name of your cancelled order. I do not see you using SetProfitTarget in the snippet. TraceOrders will be critical to evaluate what is going on.

SetProfitTarget is used only in the initialize section:

protected override void Initialize()
{
SetProfitTarget("Scalp sell", CalculationMode.Ticks, 8);
SetProfitTarget("Scalp buy", CalculationMode.Ticks, 8);
SetProfitTarget("Buy", CalculationMode.Ticks, 16);
SetProfitTarget("Sell short", CalculationMode.Ticks, 16);
IncludeCommission = true;
TimeInForce = Cbi.TimeInForce.Day;
EntriesPerDirection = 1;
TraceOrders = true;
EntryHandling = EntryHandling.UniqueEntries;
}
