Problems managing trailing stop orders

Hi. So here's the picture. I placed a buy limit order below the market and a sell limit order above the market, both orders with an attached trailing stop. The price dropped and my buy order was executed. The price then went up and kept going right up to the price of my sell order, which was executed. As expected the 2 parent orders cancelled each other out, fine, but the 2 child stop orders were left behind and after a further price change one was executed, which was not my intention. How do I ensure that the 2 child orders are automatically cancelled in this case please?
