That's how it goes. Abandoned positions.

Since in my terminal IB usually there are always a lot of positions — there and futures, and promotions, and options, and short-term positions, and medium-term,and long-term, sometimes with a constant frequency, a non-closed position suddenly pops up, which should have been closed long ago. And of course it is not on the sheet of a specific system., but it is present only on the sheet `` all positions '', but there are so many of them, what to determine which one belongs to which system, practically, That's impossible. This is how sometimes a forgotten position that was not closed in time pops up after a few months by accident..

This time it turned out to be etef UVXY, which was sold to short just above 30, and this price was at the beginning of the year and it means that it was hiding in the terminal for half a year. Although the position is quite small, but floating profit is more or less nothing.

I suspect the shares were selling on a signal from the MomNow system with collective2, since I myself have hardly traded this etef. And closing a position, apparently, missed, and the line with the position was accidentally deleted, or vice versa, first the line was accidentally deleted, and then missed the signal, since the line with the position was no longer there. So today I received a signal for UVXY from this system, typed ticker on the list, and a position with a profit was displayed there.

But I repeat, such incidents occur periodically, sometimes negative, but more often a plus.
