We do not observe a problem with this. We see no reason in the code why this would occur and we tested it using live trading data when connected to TT FIX.

A Trailing Stop Attached Order did get automatically adjusted:

We recommend testing this during a chart replay since that is the easiest way to test a trailing stop especially when the replay runs at a fast speed. Do you notice a problem during a replay of ZB with the trailing stop getting automatically adjusted ?
