on sim mode (havent confirmed live) my stops do not trail to breakeven
I do not have this problem in an older version of sc with amp
Is this something unique to IB?
Also, My auto trade system has (NO) when asked weather to "evaluate on bar close" yet it does not close the trade after the auto trade "exit" signal is initiated
again it seems to work fine on the older version of sc with amp

How did you set up this functionality? Did you use what is documented here:
Attached Orders: Move to Breakeven for Stop

We also see you are using version 1700. This is an older version. You need to update to the current version. At this point we are declining further support until you update.

I only went back to 1700 last night to determine if there was any difference in response
Prior to that I had the latest version

I did set up trailing BE as documented
I have an accnt with Amp as well using the same set up (1700), seems to work fine
I have no issue while using version 1700
Fwiw the trade window/dom in the latest version is not as stable as the earlier versions (data is not saved to dom)

in regards to the auto trading it is not a programming issue as it works properly with AMP/SC1700

The Trade Window is definitely fine in all versions. The settings are saved with each individual chart and are permanently saved when you save a Chartbook:
Chartbooks (Workspaces)

There simply could not be a problem with this at all. No one ever reports an issue with this and there is not an issue.

For possible reasons why there would be a problem with the Move to Breakeven functionality, refer to:
