When I trade on my simulator everything works perfectly, however, when I switch to my live account I'm having a few different issues. I use the chart trader and chart trader Dom. It wont allow me to place buy stops above the current price or sell stops below the current price, I right click just like it says to do. Also, when I'm in a winning trade I can't drag my stop passed my entry to protect profit. Also, when I flatten out of winning trades it's giving me a loss on my Daily Profit and Loss. Example: I was up about $80 on a trade and it gave me a $20 loss. Sorry for the long message but I don't know what to do ? I've looked at many of my setting and everything looks fine but obviously something is way off. Thank you, Ed

We need to know the exact, order type and side and the exact reason for rejection. Check the Trade >>Trade Activity Log for this information, as this does not make sense:
It wont allow me to place buy stops above the current price or sell stops below the current price

Instructions:
Trade Activity Log: Viewing Historical Trade Activity

This is normal with live trading:
Also, when I'm in a winning trade I can't drag my stop passed my entry to protect profit.

There is an option to make simulated trading the same.:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Reject Stop Orders That Will Immediately Fill (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> General >> Order Entry)

For this:
when I flatten out of winning trades it's giving me a loss on my Daily Profit and Loss.
