Post From: moving a LIVE Limit Order to execute At-Market

How to take an active LIVE Sell-Limit order to execute At-Market? >>using FXCM<<<

Using attached orders, I enter/buy 2 contracts with two Sell-Limits (profit-targets) and Stop (stop to BE on first Limit).

Lets say, Market hasn't reached first Sell-Limit but I want to close 1 contract (half position), I should be able to just mouse-move/adjust the Sell-Limit to anywhere below the current bid-ask for the Sell-Limit order to be executed At-Market ... but it does not, and I get this error message in trade-service-log ...

{{ Order Modification Error: Order Modification Reject. Info: 19915;DAS 19915: ZDas Exception ORA-20105: Order price did not pass validation. Internal Order ID: 7441. Service Order ID: 71188503 | 2015-09-22 17:23:52 * }}

Why won't it let me do this simple process? Are there any Trade/Global settings that would allow this? ... Alternatively, a Flatten ½ Position button would also help achieve this.
btw. in Simulation-Mode the above is possible, just not when switch to LIVE trading.
