Trailing Stops backing Up?

If I have set a trailing stop configuration, and then I manually adjust the stop based on my own criteria...the stop often backs up a tick or two (increasing my risk..when i just decreased it) based on the configuration and auto trail settings...

how can i get this behavior to cease?...My trailing stops are a tool...not an absolute crutch...I wish to have them move appropriately unless I override.
