How do I access the bracket order feature in TWS? The option is grayed out on the Order menu. Also, what exactly could I do with the bracket feature? I'm guessing it's designed to tie an entry order with an exit order. MOC orders don't seem to be available with futures. No big deal. I would at least like to be able to attach a buy stop entry to a sell stop exit, and submit the order as one. Meaning if the entry order fills, the exit order is placed automatically. I'm also concerned about the trailing stop feature. Where are the stops trailed? On my computer? If my computer crashes, will they keep trailing? Also, if IB loses it's connection to GLOBEX, will I have a hard stop at the exchange? Thanks in advance, Banker
It's on build 783 and above. just click on an order and before xmitting right click and choose set up bracket order. Do do a hot key, see this link. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=170946&highlight=bracket+trade#post170946
