WTF am I doing wrong? (RE:ATM Setup)

[dniezby]

So, I set up this ATM. Pretty simple.
I want to set a stoploss at $40 and a take profit at $200 (I'm currently trading the micros)
Seems pretty simple...

However, when I go to the chart, select "buy limit" is places an order where I want it but it doesn't place the stop or profit. In fact, If I place the order and it hits the initial entry, it immediately triggers the stop? I've tried using all of the buttons on the chart trader panel and all the right click types of orders. None of them set the stop and the profit.
I'm very familiar with ATM and on the web I use this for everything...In the desktop app (which, to be honest, I'm still in learning mode) I cannot get it to work as expected. Unless I'm setting it up wrong in the desktop.

Thanks in advance as I know someone is going to point out something obvious that I completely missed.
