Trade Management Study Issue

I use the trade management study and a spreadsheet to manage 2 targets. OCO Group1 and OCO Group2. Everything works fine except for the following instance:

If for some reason the attached orders get cancelled, and I have to bring them back using 'send attached orders by position', it does not work and the orders do not go to where they are supposed to.

Can this be fixed?

What do you mean they do not go back where they are supposed to? How are the targets setup? What happens when you "send attached order by position"?

I typically put both targets 40 ticks away from my entry once I'm filled so that they're out of the way. I then wait for a signal that I create through my spreadsheet. Let's say I'm long and filled at 10 and after a few minutes the price moves 3 ticks in my favor, the signal triggers and the price it tells the first target (OCO Group 1) to move to is 13. Under normal circumstances the OCO Group 1 target will move to 13. Then it might keep going and I'll get a signal to move the second target to 15 (OCO Group 2). It does so and I'm closed out of my position.

If I get filled, and for whatever reason I need to cancel the attached orders to change size or whatever, and I have to bring back the attached orders by using 'send attached orders by position', the targets do not move where they are supposed to once triggered. So in this case if the first signal happens at 13, the spreadsheet will tell the target to move to 13 through the trade management study, but the actual target does nothing. It doesn't move there. It doesn't work.

There is a cell in the spreadsheet that will tell which price to place the order at. Then I use the trade management study and reference that cell in the spreadsheet.

You guys can't fix this? Seems like it shouldn't be too tough.
