For one thing, you have competing issues with your Stop. You have it as both a Trailing Stop and you have a "Move to Breakeven" set for it. If you do not want it to trail until the breakeven occurs, then set the order type to be a "Triggered Trailing Stop" and set the trigger to be the same as the Move to Breakeven. Refer to the following:
Order Types: Triggered Trailing Stop

But, you should be able to modify the Stop.

When you have this occur, open your "Trade >> Trade Service Log" and post the information from that log to this thread for us to take a look. Follow these instructions to do this:
