"Syncing strategy position after flat"

[AnotherTrader]

I have a custom unmanaged order mode strategy which I am testing in Sim101.
At one point yesterday, the strategy's position size increased from one bar to the next without (as far as I could tell) there being any IOrder object associated with the increase.

(The strategy uses entryOrder, targetOrder, stopOrder and flattenOrder IOrder objects. For debugging purposes, I record the values of these objects at the start and end of each OnBarUpdate, OnOrderUpdate, OnExecution, OnPositionUpdate, etc, and so can see that neither entryOrder, targetOrder, stopOrder nor flattenOrder changed values at the time Positions[0].Quantity increased by 1.)

At the time of the above increase in position size, the log shows the following entry...

Order='dabae2cc4516485197a998fc8f82a752/Sim101' Name='Syncing strategy position after flat' New state=PendingSubmit Instrument='YM 12-12' Action=BuyToCover Limit price=0 Stop price=0 Quantity=1 Type=Market Filled=0 Fill price=0 Error=NoError Native error=''

Instrument='YM 12-12' Account='Sim101' Avg price=13284.5 Quantity=2 Market position=Long Operation=Update Currency=Unknown

I suspect the above log entry is key to understanding what is happening, and to preventing the unwanted increase.

Any ideas?
