I have a open order that I opened on the 11th of october. I am following this order as a long term trade. the time stamp on the position was the 11th at about 11:30 am. This was true for the first couple of days. Then the weekend happend and I came back this morning and found that my order is now time stamped on the 13th. What is up? the 13th is a saturday and I know I wasn't trading that day. is there a problem with dates carring over from the weekend?

Position timestamp is not guaranteed to be the opening trade timestamp, it can be changed to reflect the date of latest reconciliation, which happens at least once a week.

This is NOT good! I belive that the date that I place the trade should remain untill I close that trade. when you do the reconcilitaion thing you could have another date for that, but don't mess with the actual trade time stamp. I could have a trade open for weeks. and the way you are doing the timestamps not know when I placed it. that to me is not good at all, I 'need' to know when I placed those trades.

Is there any way to keep the timestamp of trades constant? please?

I hope that the reason for the long wait for the reply is that you are considering a fix for this. That would be great. Thanks again. Waiting for response.
