OCO order from chart or DOM

Postby Drogo » 31 Jan 2015

Helo,

I Have problem with oco orders and Interactive Broker.
I expect that if I place new limit order with brackets function (stop loss and profit target) Multichats send all oco order to IB.
But I can always see in IB only the limit order without stop loss and profit target.

Is there any way how to reach that whole oco order will be on IB side?

Hello Drogo,

Bracket exit orders will become active ( will be sent to broker) once your entry order is filled.

Please see Bracket orders description:
Note: When Bracket Strategy is auto attached to an order and has not been triggered yet, inactive orders are indicated as semi-transparent.

Hello Henry,

Understand.
Is there another way how to do it?.... Place whole order (Enter price, Stoploss and Profitarget) on IB side?

I want to eliminate the risk when an order is placed and after that a connection is lost.
I usually place order a few hours before filling an order.

Thank you for replay. Drogo

Hello Drogo,

There is no other way to do that in Manual Trading. That is possible to create a signal that will place the orders the way you need it in Automated Trading.

Hello Drogo,

All orders generated on a single script calculation are in the same OCO group.
For more details please refer to the following thread.
