Triggered Trail Stop Question

I am just testing the Triggered Stop and Triggered Trail Stop orders and i found a potential bug.
Simulating in Chart Replay Mode: Symbol DYZ18

Current Last Price = 10850
Placing a Triggered Buy Stop Order below Current Price (Trigger Price 10805; Stop price 10808) - works
Placing a Triggered Trail Buy Stop Order below Current Price (Trigger Price 10805; Stop price 10808) - not working order is immediately filled.
Orders have been placed via the TradeWindow Order Form.

Intention with this order is: Assuming i am in short position and i am expecting a steep down push i want the buy stop order (to exit the position) to follow as low as possible until a 3 pt reverse happens.

Did i understood the triggered trail stop order wrong or is it bug.

Thanks

You need to read the documentation for the Triggered Trail Stop order. It does work as documented.

The Triggered Stop order type is not yet documented.
