Giacomo -



What happened is that you had a couple of very old, still-pending orders lying around, which were never canceled. So as soon as you opened your positions, they were closed by these stop orders.



I have cleaned up the trades. It’s important that you keep an eye on your system and cancel all open pending orders that remain longer than you would like.



This is expecially the case when you use the TradeStation interface, because there are lots of reasons TradeStation can fail to send cancel notifications - including that you simply turn your TradeStation computer off at the end of the day, before the cancels can be sent to C2!
