Can't adjust targets

When I place a trade I always send the order in with an OCO bracket. Once I'm in the trade I will adjust my targets and stop to the prices I want them. I started having an issue with doing this today. I recently changed my targets from limit orders to market if touched. But now it won't let me adjust my targets. When I'm in simulation mode it will allow me to adjust the targets but it won't allow me to do it when I'm live trading. How can I fix this?

Market if Touched orders are not supported with TD Ameritrade and they should be rejected. We are fixing that now. We are not sure what the order type of the submitted order even is because it is not being specified to Ameritrade when you use MIT within Sierra Chart.

You might also need to disable the use of server-side OCO orders when using TD Ameritrade:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Use Server Side OCO Orders (if supported) (Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> General)

I haven't placed a trade through TD since I switched to MIT. I had the problem when placing a trade through Stage 5 (GAIN Capital/OEC). Is it the same problem as with TD? They don't support MIT?

Yes TD Ameritrade does not support Market if Touched orders. You need to use this order type instead:
Order Types: Market if Touched - Client

And update to the latest version of Sierra Chart:
