Problem was position was opened as QQQ, while correct symbol actually has 4 Q’s, like this: QQQQ I have corrected position, and now you may enter your signal to close position. ---

Wen I STC appear this message: "Can’t enter STC - Not currently long You can’t enter an order to Sell To Close (STC) because you do not have a long position in QQQQ. If you want to enter a STC, make it conditional on a not-yet-executed STO order. Learn more" and I can’t STC. ---

Make sure you are using the correct symbol. It’s: QQQQ notice the 4 Q’s. ---

Yes, when I use close position button I have QQQQ STC 140. I have just tryed to STO and works. But I have canceled it because I don’t know if is a correct procedure. Is like if the system don’t see the QQQQ in position correctly. How can I do? Thanks Riccardo ---

Riccardo - Totally my fault. I had adjusted the trade in the database to reflect the correct symbol, but had neglected to change one of the needed fields. I have now made the proper correction. Please try again, and please accept my apology for the hassle. ---

Order was filled a few secs after you entered it – maybe your screen didn’t update or your session timed out? In any case, I see that you are flat. ---
