    I need help to configure correctly IBKR,

    I have been using IBKR. Lately, I discovered the configuration preset values for each type of securites.

    However, when I invoke an order from Mosaic, it uses the number the number from the preset values but it ignores all the presets parameter attached to the Primary Order / Profit-taker and Stop/Loss Order. I have to fill manually the prices for each data entry

    For example, I would like to issue a BUY order :

    1) number of shares

    2) type of order : LIMIT / bid price

    Configuration setup

    It also does not fill the price for the Profit -Taker and stop loss

    In Mosaic, IBKR indicates that there is preset configuration attached to the securities ( stock).

    I looked at all the available you tube video but I could not find what is wrong with my setup.

    Thanks in advance

    My guess: the exit orders' limit prices depend on the fill price of the entry order: they are set at x% away from the fill price. However, the entry order is not yet filled, so those exit prices cannot be calculated.
