Hi Guys I am having an issue, I am not sure if it is something that is not possible or a user error. Here is the situation, I place 2 stop orders, one to buy above a previous bar high the other to sell below the previous bar low at the same time. When the buy order gets triggered FIRST and continues up I can move my stop loss to break even. When the sell order gets triggered FIRST but not the buy order, and then continues further down, I cannot move my stop loss to break even. Let me know if you need screenshots or any more info. |

Are there any order rejections after moving the order? They will be listed in Trade >> Trade Service Log.

Yes you cannot move a pending child order to break even, by using the move to breakeven command. The parent order has to fill first. You can manually modify the order though.
