I keep a personal record of my trades and I'm trying to understand my own Trade Activity Log a bit better. I have "Move to Breakeven" configured on some of my attached orders (stop moves to breakeven after a certain number of ticks in my favor). When I look at my log, I see entries around trade entry that mention "move to breakeven stop reference price" and "move to breakeven stop trigger price" — these seem to just be setting up the levels. My question: when the Move to Breakeven actually triggers later and moves my stop, what does that log entry usually say? Does it look different from a regular manual order modification, or basically the same? Just trying to understand what I'm looking at when I review my own trades afterward. |

The actual "Move to Breakeven" order should have a line in your Trade Activity Log that looks like the attached image. Then you should see standard messages regarding moving a Stop order.
