Question

I wonder if there's a problem with orders? Or maybe there's something I don't quite understand?
Had a LIMIT order to buy TSLA at 31100 this morning. Price was heading down from 315ish and was getting close, so I thought I may as well do this manually. So I cancelled the order - but it said it couldn't do that. Fair enough, I thought - it must have triggered, as the price was indeed down at around 31075 or so, but no positions appeared and the order was still there.
So I can't cancel the order, even though it should have triggered. Charting the ASK price clearly shows a dip below 311 - so why didn't the order execute OR get deleted?
I suspect I'll get another chance to buy, but it has shaken my confidence in the IG platform.
