I had an open position strategy in the super DOM, with a stop and 1 target. I moved the target to close the position, was filled and got the target filled position closed message. Then 3 1/2 minutes later, as I was writing in my trade journal, I heard the voice say "stop filled"!! I thought that was what we were paying for NinjaTraderto avoid!!:shock::(Then I got the overfill message on how to manage that position. Was that just a system failure, or is there some set of circumstances (which I would like to avoid in future) that makes that happen? I use PATS.

Another question, is it safe for PATS people to use the new version yet (because of he stop moving problem you had mentioned.

Thanks, Vernie

Yes you should be using the new version. It is possible that an order is not cancelled as a result of the OCO. For example, have you ever manually cancelled an order only find that it's not being cancelled and therefore you must press the cancel button again? This rarely happens but can. With the latest update, I have changed the OCO handling to ensure that orders get cancelled in the event that situations like this can happen.
