Hey @GreenCauliflower

Are you getting any error codes? If not what is the type of your orders (market, limit, stop, take profit, stop-loss, etc.) Were all of your positions fully filled, or were some only partially filled or rejected. All of these scenarios might cause some of your orders to not be executed consistently.

Here is the link to see more about orders on Alpaca’s Docs
