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.
===Appearance===
Bracket Strategy is displayed as green and maroon markers on the chart connected to the order price label on the price scale with a dotted line and as green and maroon markers in the DOM window.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: When Bracket Strategy is auto attached to an order and '''has not been triggered yet''', inactive orders are indicated as semi-transparent. </div>
