[Moving the stop loss]

Yes I am on the SB Platform.

But it is as if there is a block imposed on any stop changes ... not just a minimum distance (which is why I did my 1000 point test on a Limit Stop).

Yes I agree the Demo Platform worked fine (I could change  stops etc) at the same time as the Real Platform would not let me  make a change  to my Limit Stop.  

I have experienced this loads of times, but it p**d me off so much this time that I had to give vent to my annoyance,

Sure enough after I was stopped out on a Limit, the Price carried on going up as I predicted in my previous post!   

You are not the only one.

I am on the ProRealTime Platform. I trade the South African cash 40.

On the demo account everything was fine i could adjust my stops and limits and my orders would not be rejected. For example if i wanted to risk R500(rands) of which that R500 would be 100points away from my entry same as my limit. But on the live account firstly my orders get rejected on my laptop and with my smartphone i am able to enter and adjust my stoploss but only when the position is open and the R500 that i want to risk is way too close to my entry. So i do not understand is there something i am doing wrong or what?

[I cannot buy or sell shares]

You are not the only one , I face problems too with buying and selling. Every order of mine is rejected or if i  enter using my smart phone my stop loss is closer to my entry and  when i adjust to the money i want to risk its still too close. But in the demo account the money i want to risk is further away from my entry giving it some room to breath. So i do not understand what could be the problem.
