Bracket in MultiCharts is a One-Cancel-Other (OCO) order group, with one limit order and one stop order. This exit strategy is a one-click combo of the stop loss and profit target. If one of these orders is filled, the other one will be cancelled by MultiCharts. Targets placed separately from stop losses, provide more flexibility, but they also come with the responsibility of cancelling orders no longer needed. | Bracket in MultiCharts is a One-Cancel-Other (OCO) order group, with one limit order and one stop order.
