What is the correlation between the pull-down menu Types 'Move To Breakeven' (5 selections)& the pull-down menu 'Stops+Targets' (10 stop selections) under the Targets tab in the Trade Window?
I am trying to setup the following Bracket Order with 2 Targets & Stops:
1. Stop to remain on -15 until Target1 is triggered (OCO Group1). And once triggered ....
2. Stop to move to -5 then Trails to Breakeven in a normal 1:1 Step

Having just spend the last six hours in the online manual and trialing many different setups in SIM-mode trying to make complete sense of all available Type: mode options but without success. (perhaps if more examples were given (in digits) one could ascertain its meaning easier)
Forinstance, if you select 'OCO Group Triggered' (at the bottom for 'Move To Breakeven for Stop'), any Trailing Stops (methods select above) seem to not stop at Breakeven but keeps on moving with the Market regardless.
Hence my question (Line1), what is the correlation between the 5 & 10 types of selections between these menus? Please be descriptive in your answer.

The particular Stop strategy you want is not currently supported but it is planned when we add 2 configurations per stop for the Move to Breakeven functionality.

The Move to Breakeven for Stops settings apply various Move to Breakeven functionality for the current selected Stop in the list of Attached Orders. This Move to Breakeven functionality is independent of any other functionality on the selected Stop order, like Trailing Stop functionality.
