Hi Guys
I am having an issue, I am not sure if it is something that is not possible or a user error. Here is the situation, I place 2 stop orders, one to buy above a previous bar high the other to sell below the previous bar low at the same time. When the buy order gets triggered FIRST and continues up I can move my stop loss to break even. When the sell order gets triggered FIRST but not the buy order, and then continues further down, I cannot move my stop loss to break even. Let me know if you need screenshots or any more info.

Are there any order rejections after moving the order? They will be listed in Trade >> Trade Service Log.

Yes you cannot move a pending child order to break even, by using the move to breakeven command. The parent order has to fill first.

You can manually modify the order though.
