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.

just to be clear then this is me actually moving the stop correct?

Most likely, although we can not say with absolute certainty. If the price of 29637.75 is the correct placement of the order after selecting "Move to Breakeven", then this is the order for it to move to that price.
