You are doing all the right things and have worked through all the right logic.

What you are seeing is most likely due to built-in priorities for when the Trade Management by Study updates versus the Spreadsheet.

What we would suggest (and feel free to modify the idea as you want) would be to use the Last Price as the reference price in the Spreadsheet unless the fill price is non-zero, then use the fill price. To do this, use an empty column in the spreadsheet and enter a formula like the following:
=IF(ID1.SG1@3 = 0, ID0.SG4@3, ID1.SG1@3)

Then use that column to create your reference prices from. In this way, you will not have zero value for the Stop and Target. Just keep in mind there will be a small delay before the Stop and Target actually change.
