Then I created a new chart, with the same strategy to start from scratch. This one looked correct, ie it never had more than 1L or 1S. Finally, I did the same thing for the strategy that is running live to my brokerage. I created a new instance in the strategy tab. But it has the "2L" entries, even the clean new instance. If I go to the brokerage account there never were multi-contract entries in live trading. So I have two questions:
1) How do I get rid of these erroneous "fake" trades?
2) Related question is why does this happen?
One other fact is that I aborted a trade in the middle of operation last friday. In other words, the strategy had opened a position and I manually exited it, which disables the strategy at the same time. Still, this is supposed to give the backtested values for the strategy, not every action in the IB account. Even if I had 2 contracts in the IB, which I never did, it should show the strategy results not account results.
I did one final test. I disabled the new chart strategy that was working (had only 1L or 1S) and changed to the IB brokerage account. It also worked and had only 1 contract in any one trade. So what is going on?
