John,
I am still learning but I thought I had done everything right. Look at my bracket order. I have an initial 40-tick stop. I sell the 1 lot at 12903.75. It goes 3 pts against me and then falls 9.5 which would be 38 ticks. I have 'move to breakeven' set. I have the trigger offset of 12, which is 4 pts in nq. That was clearly met, and my stop should then have been brought to BE. It was not, it only trailed and reduced it from 40 to 20. Sadly my TP just missed by 3 ticks and then it zoomed back up. My stop should have been my entry BE. Why or what did I do wrong for it not to do that? It should have trailed along, then dropped to BE once it went 12 ticks in profit...

Help, please.

It is impossible for us to answer the question after the fact. However consult the Trade Activity Log and see what you can find:
Trade Activity Log: Viewing Historical Trade Activity

Also it is not going to go immediately to breakeven. It will incrementally move towards breakeven once the trigger is hit, with the options selected.
