My Stop and Target orders sometimes just disappear

I noticed that occasionally, my target and stop orders just seem to disappear although I am certain I added them on the dom.
This is extremely concerning to me as I fear this may happen when I am not at the charts and cause me a huge loss one day.
Please help me understand why this happens?

Follow through the instructions here:
Trade Activity Log Analysis: Support Assisted Trade Activity Log Analysis

We just need to focus in on one of the orders.. Either the Target or Stop. Just one of them. We will only need the Internal Order ID of one of them.

There is no need to pay anything extra.

I have added a stop now, so not sure if this is what you're asking for.
I have added my trade activity log to this message. I traded EU6M and the date was this morning (Sydney Time).

For us to help with this, we really need all of the details requested in the steps here:

Trade Activity Log Analysis: Support Assisted Trade Activity Log Analysis

We already have the Trade Activity Log and know the symbol.

We need a more precise date and time and that probably should be enough for us to work with.

I believe it is 2017-4-19 at 6:37:18
That's when the order was opened.

I just noticed this on another order on Aussie Futures that I entered earlier today. Now both stop and target orders have disappeared.
See screenshot below.

OK the problem is what we were suspecting.

You need to set the Attached Orders with a Time in Force of "Good till Canceled":
Attached Orders: Time In Force

That must have been it. I have corrected this and will update this thread if the issue still appears.
Thank you!
