Post From: Can't figure out why Stop moving to Break Even

So I've opened the Trade Activity Log and gone under the Order Action Source as suggested. However, I don't see anything that would suggest why one contract had it's stop automatically move to break even.

This is from a trade taken on SIM today in MCL.

I bought 2 contracts using a standard OCO bracket. No auto breakeven settings used.
As you can see, price moved up and at some point that I can't figure out, after price moved in my direction, the stop of just one of the contracts moved to break even and I was stopped out as price retested the entry level.

I've bolded part of the 3 Trade, which was the break even stop, to show you what I'm seeing.
Under Order Action Source all it says is:
Trade simulation fill. Big: 87.75 Ask 87.76 Last 87.75

As mentioned in the original ticket, this automatic behavior only happens with one of the contracts.
Please advise where to look and what to do to have just a normal OCO bracket with a target and stop that don't automatically move.
TIA
