The main thing we see is that there are too many things going on. We see a main order set to "Trailing Stop" and then an Attached Order set to use the "Trail to BreakEven" option. From what you have stated above, if you want to have all 3 things occur: 1. 20pt Stop and Take Profit 2. Move to BreakEven at +8 ticks 3. Trail the Stop after +8 ticks Then the best way is to set the following: - Parent Order: Market, or other type based on your needs, but not a Trailing Stop, as that will never fill. - Attached Orders - Take Profit - set to +20 points - Attached Orders - Stop - Use a Triggered Trailing Stop. Set the Stop Offset to be 20 ticks, The Trail Offset to be 8 ticks, and the Trigger Offset to be 8 ticks.
