CQG Bracket Orders probable malfunction

I had an issue today with a Server-side Bracket Order (CQG).

I had an Stop Sell order placed (with its corresponding Limit and Stop child orders):

Symbol: F.US.CLEX14
Quantity: 2 Contracts.
Parent Order: Stop Sell at 89.74
Child 1: Limit at 89.34
Child 2: Stop at 90.03
The order had a "Move to Breakeven" with a Trigger price of 89.38 and a new price for the stop child, once the trigger is reached, of 89.73

The parent order was filled with a slippage of 1 tick (89.73) and it was filled partially first (1 contract) and, immediately after, the second contract.

I have "Adjust Attached Orders to Mantain Same Offset on Parent Fill" selected.

When this happened, before the "Server-side bracket order" was implemented for CQG, everything worked OK.



Now, with "Server-side bracket order" implemented, this is what has happened:

- Both child orders were divided into two different orders (1 contract each). I assume that this is due to the partial filling.

- The Attached Orders didn't Mantain Same Offset on Parent Fill. Sierra tried to modify the child orders but the modification was rejected (I suppose that this is because there are two new orders, for 1 contract each, that replace the old child 2 contracts order).

- The Trigger for moving to breakeven was reached but the modification was rejected again and the child stop orders stayed unmodified. At the same time, it seems that Sierra only tried to move to breakeven only one of the two stop orders (1 contract each).



I attach the sequence:

I wanted to add that I had to move the 2 stop orders manually to breakeven (from 90.03 to 89.72) but the system only allowed me to do so with the first order.
When I tried to manually move the second stop order to breakeven the system didn't do it leaving the order unchanged.
I had to close Sierra Chart and run it again and then the system allowed the second order to be changed.

I also attach the sequence (I have replaced the Trade Account by 000000 as in the previous post):




I manually "move to breakeven" the first order (successfully):

I try to "move to breakeven" the second order several times (unsuccessfully):

Hopefully you have not experienced the problems again. CQG server-side bracket orders have been disabled for some time now.
