I am noticing in my backtest that options that are expired remain in Portfolio and are 'Invested'. I assumed that they would automatically be removed or at least show a 0 quantity as expirations and assignments seem to occur automatically. Is it something that I am missing or an error in the engine or is it expected to ignore expired securities and I must liquidate myself?

I figured out why this is happening. Looks like on the market closing slice for the option on day of expiration, and OptionExercise order type is being sent. However, I had a call to close all open orders before that exercise is filled and it gets canceled.
I am not sure what is the proper behavior here:

Hi Ari,
I was unable to reproduce this error. Please attach a backtest which demonstrates the issue so we can further assist.
