Post From: Attached Order Problem

I am attempting to use Attached Orders for exits in my autotrade system. I have a simple bracket trade strategy set up, exactly like your default Trade Window configuration. Parent and Child orders are submitted correctly by the autotrade logic. When an order is filled, after a few minutes (sometimes seconds), the Child orders simply disappear from the system and the chart. This happens if the chart is in Trade Simulation mode or if orders are sent to IB TWS (simulated). Occasionally, the position is held until the target or stop is hit. I was previously using cells L3 and N3 in the autotrade spreadsheet for exits, and had no problems.
