Need help with ticket orders

I have posted this before and know how to use orders, but for some reason, I really think E-Trade is broken. Maybe you can help. Here is an example: This morning, I decided to pick up on this Wendy's run, so I grabbed shares at 7.35 and wanted a 5 percent profit. So I went to set an order at 7.73 to sell, but noticed it had already jumped to over 8. So now I'm like, "Oh, hell yeah, I'll totally lock in 5 percent now!" As I checked, it was up to 8.25. I set the order, and it immediately sold all my shares for 8.08. How do you get it to sell only at your exact number? Also I used all orders before this time was just a sell limit order
