Hi
How can I write bracket orders in Multicharts?
Let's put a very simple example
An strategy that place a sellshort at stop at 5000, and tied to that order, another stop loss at 5100.
I mean, I don't wan't my computer to send the first order and then the other one. I need it to send them together to the market, that will execute the stop loss if the first one is fulfilled, even if I loose my connection.
I'm not be able to find any example.
regards
bracket orders, child orders...

Andrew, quark's request is that the stops are executed even if internet connection goes down.Dear quark,
In case of IB, you just need to use SetStopLoss and SetProfitTarget statements; they will be handled as a bracket order automatically.
I thought that MC keeps the stops local on the PC ?
Or am i mistaken such that they are actually sent to IB ?
thanks

you can easily test and observe the order behavior with IB's papertrading account,
or IB's demo system.
