stop / profit orders placed at same time as a limit

Postby ernay » 16 Jun 2020

My goal is to send a limit order, and have the broker also receive my OCO stop/profit taking order.
Example:

- limit order to buy /ES at 3,000.00
- immediately on being filled, broker side will have a GTC stop order for 2,950.00 or profit taking order at 3,095.00, OCO style.

What's the best way to accomplish this?

Thanks.

Hello ernay,

If you use manual trading, you can use the functionality of Chart Trading Panel and its Bracket OCO order group.
You can use auto attach to insert it automatically.

If you use auto trading, you can use keywords setstoploss_pt and setprofittarget_pt.
Please let us know if you have any issues in settings up these steps.
