Bracket Stop Moving with Order

I have a simple bracket set up in my Trade Window. Upon trade entry a stop is automatically placed 20 ticks away from entry price. I then adjust the stop manually as I desire. However, recently, this stop has begun moving with price, i.e., it now trails price into profit, maintaining a 20 tick offset. I am now unable to drag this stop where I want it. Perhaps I have done something to effect this change, but I am not aware of doing so. Am having difficulty finding how to reverse this and get back to the preset stop remaining put unless I move it. Appreciate your help. |

Apparently the Stop type is a Trailing Stop order. Go to the Targets tab of the Trade Window and make sure the stop is just a simple "Stop".

The stop type set in the Trade Window is just a simple stop, it reads Stop:Stop. But for whatever reason(s), this stop moves with price (though never did before.) I am currently on version 1617.

Our belief is that most likely you are looking at the wrong Trade Window. Make sure you are opening the Trade Window from the chart you are trading from.

This appears to be resolved. I did upgrade to V1641, but more importantly, I noticed, under 'Targets', in the Trade Window that further down in that area a small box was set to "Trail to Breakeven." I set that to 'None.' Now I can again drag the stop around, it does not move as price moves into profit, etc. I don't recall ever changing that little box to 'Trail to Breakeven', but there it is. |
