I have not been able to do sim trading with VWAP due to the STOP line randomly moving I add after maybe 30 seconds - I think to where I started the trade, it has also just randomly closed the trade despite not being anywhere near logical for this to happen. I have no idea why it's doing this, it started happening about week ago. Can anyone help? And yes I have latest version.

Is the parent order already filled when the Stop moves? Or does the Stop move when the parent order fills? Are you using the "Trade Management by Study" study by any chance?

No the parent order has not been fulfilled when the stop moves, it does it before anything has been achieved in regards to targets. It also just randomly stop the trade completely, is there a way to see what causes this stop to randomly move or for the trade to just stop itself? Trade Management Studies - there are some on the template that I inherited but they worked fine until last week |

Your Trade Activity Log will show where the order modification is coming from. You need to find the particular Order that is causing the change to the Stop and then look in the "OrderActionSource" to see what caused the change. Most likely it is a Trade Management by Study study, since you have these on the chart. But first check your Trade Activity Log.

Hi - I uploaded an image file that shows the lines that populated in the trade logs (two of them since I have 2 contracts) but look the same - does this mean anything that can cause the stop to move by itself? If so, do you know how I can stop it?

Those lines show that this is a Triggered Trailing Stop and the trigger was met so the Stop is now moving to trail the market.

Triggered Trailing Stop - I can't recall ever setting this up. I have looked at the trading window, target 1 and target 2 are 'Target: Limits' and the Stop is 'Stop: Stop' - its not setup as a any other type.

Sorry, it could also be an action from the "Move to Breakeven". The point is that there is a trigger price and then a trailing action. Hence we first thought of the "Triggered Trailing Stop".
