Move stop to breakeven - first target on two target order.

I need help with a simple order configuration:

Qty 2
First target 5 ticks
Second target 10 ticks
Initial stop for both set at 7 ticks

When the first target of 5 ticks is reached and the remaining qty goes to one, I want the stop to move to order entry point minus 5 ticks (i.e. worst case zero profit/loss once the first target has been reached).

Step by step instructions will be much appreciated!

Hi, I tried it and it does not move the remaining order to Order entry-5. See attached screen shots - can you comment on what I may be doing wrong?

Refer to the attached screenshot with an example of how to configure the Targets tab.

Notice the Move to Breakeven settings.

I'm having the same issue. My OCO Group Triggered based stop doesn't move. I viewed the both set of screenshots in this thread and don't see how the configuration between the two is different. I'm using IB, if that makes a difference. The stops used to work fine but suddenly stopped (haha) working the past two weeks or so.

We have tested this and cannot duplicate the problem. Provide a screenshot of the Targets tab of the Trade Window with the Stop order selected.

It can be attached following these instructions:

We determined the problem. It has to do with when using Interactive Brokers server-side bracket orders. This will be solved in the next release.

Corrected a problem from a recent release where Trailing Stop orders including Move to Breakeven Stops were not functioning when using server side bracket orders with Interactive Brokers.
