version 2091. When I have a stop/target OCO order and then press BE on the order entry my stop doesn't move up to the entry price. This just started not working with the latest version.

We tested this now during a chart replay and do not observe this problem. We see you are using Interactive Brokers. What is the Status of the stop order?

Yes, I am using IB. The stop doesn't move when I press BE. I can manually move the stop on the chart so that's what I've been doing.

What we want to know is the "Status" of the order at the the time you use the move to breakeven button. That is displayed on the order line and also in the Trade Orders window:

Okay we are going to release a new version where hopefully we will get the order status correct. IB does not have consistent and orderly order status information for orders. And it is tricky to get the right status under all conditions.
