I've seen situations, even on very small orders, where I receive multiple New/Stopped pairs of execution reports.
What does it mean?
Most liquidity providers will only send a single NEW ER to show that it has received my order.

Usually once you place an order, you will receive a several execution reports updating you to the status of your order. Going from New -> Pending -> eventually to Executed or Rejected.

If the cases you are having, would you be able to show some logs of what you are seeing to help determine what it is you are seeing?

I have a similar problem, sometimes when I request a new order, I get two execution reports.

I am attaching a log example and the code that I am using:

As the order is being worked with the banks, the status may go to new again as part of its workflow. It does not indicate another new order, it just indicates the status is reset to new again because it did not fill.

Yet, in this case we confirmed with FXCM that two orders were created.

you must be sending the order twice then somehow. seems like you took bits and pieces of JavaTradeStation code there. I would recommend you just use the straight API, take a look at ClientTester.java/QATest.java

Where can I get ClientTester.java/QATest.java from?

You will find these files inside the trading_sdk.jar. in the following directory.
