[Programming Help] - TRAILING STOP TRIGGER

We compile our order with the following code:

order.Target2Price = t.target_;
order.Stop2Price = t.stop_;
order.OCOGroup2Quantity = t.amount_ / 2;
order.AttachedOrderTarget2Type = SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT;
order.AttachedOrderStop2Type = SCT_ORDERTYPE_STOP;

order.Target1Price = t.entry_ + t.risk_;
order.Stop1Price = t.stop_;
order.OCOGroup1Quantity = t.amount_ - (t.amount_ / 2);

order.TriggeredTrailStopTrailPriceOffset = t.trailingDistance_;
order.TriggeredTrailStopTriggerPriceOffset = t.target_ - t.stop_;

order.AttachedOrderTarget1Type = SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT;
order.AttachedOrderStop1Type = SCT_ORDERTYPE_STEP_TRAILING_STOP;

Which should trigger the trailing on reaching the value t.target_

It seems that this doesn't happen sometimes, with the trailing not
starting even when the trigger value is reached.

The problem is the attached order stop type (AttachedOrderStop1Type) is not one of the triggered types. Refer to:
