Could you please help me with my problem indicated below, sent 2 days ago

I have sent a number of messages regarding Triggered Trailing Step Stop or any Trail Stop activated from the Chart Trade Mode, but have not received any helpful information. I am sending two trade logs which have not properly activated. Can you please show me how to do it correctly. This is what I have done.
On the chart DOM in the main menu I have selected "Triggered Step Trail Stop". In the Stop I have indicated a stop 10 ticks from my proposed entry (presumably a Stop Loss) and in the Trig.Price I have indicated a trigger 3 ticks positive from my proposed entry. I have selected "Use Attached Orders".
In the Targets Menu I have selected Stop: Triggered Step Trail Stop. In the Stop Offset I selected 10, in the Trig. Offset 3 and the Trail Offset 6 as I want my trailing stop to follow the price by 6 ticks.
Now when I placed the trade in the confirmation window there was no indication of the Trailing orders only of the primary entry order. Shouldn't the attached orders also show up on the confirmation window.
Attached is the Trade Activity Log of these orders.
