IB Booktrader Bracket Question

Discussion in 'Trading Software' started by bigmoose, Jul 28, 2013.

  1. Been studying this for a few days and can't figure it out. Thought perhaps a guru here could help?

    I have successfully implemented and executed both hot key initiated and button initiated orders that do the following: (for both BUY and SELL)

    1. initial LMT Buy
    1.1 attached OCA LMT Sell as profit taker
    1.2 attached OCA STOP Sell as well a stop

    What I would like to set up, if it is even possible is the following.

    First assume that I hold a long position, it has been entered and executed.

    I would like to enter two orders that bracket the price I click on in bracket trader that would be linked as OCA and do:

    1.1 attached OCA LMT Sell as profit taker
    1.2 attached OCA STOP Sell as well a stop

    Have not been able to figure this out. What am I missing?
