We are not sure why you got the rejection. Can you find the initial Order for the stop and the rejected order in your Trade Activity Log and let us see those lines, or better yet export them out so we can see the entire line. From your parameters, your Stop should not have crossed over the last price, unless price moved quick enough that it was +12 and triggered the step but then moved back to a -3 (or higher) price point such that the Stop was rejected. But, we are wondering if you really would prefer a Trail Stop or a Triggered Trail Stop. With either of these the stop will continue to trail the price continuously as it moves at a particular offset. With the Trail Stop you could set your Move to BreakEven when you are at +12. With the Triggered Trail Stop you can trigger when you are at +12 profit. Keep in mind, with the Step Trailing Stop, you only move when the Step Amount is reached and then it will move to the Offset amount. Therefore, the first step will occur when you are at +12 profit and with the offset of 15, your Stop will be at -3 ticks (not breakeven). The next step will occur when price hits +24 profit and will put the Stop at +9 (24 - 15 = 9).
