Can't Modify an Active Trade

[Guest Barbara]

MT4 will not let me modify an open active trade.  All I want to do is set a stop loss and take profit on a sell order.  I am placing my stop loss more than 80 pips above my sell order and my take profit more than 80 pips below my sell order.  I get an operation error "Not enough money to complete this operation."  I've cleared the cache, exited, logged back in, and reboot my computer.  Still can not modify my trade.  When I try to close the trade I get the same error.  Anybody know a solution?

not sure what's going on there but see this video for a number of different ways to alter positions.

How do I modify a trade on IG platform can I put in a stop loss or trailing stop loss after activating trade ? Or change to guaranteed stop once the trade is running.

I had the same problem, your margin level % is probably below 100% enough cash to bring to back in the black then you should be able to adjust.
