TWS Mosaic vs. Classic (Order Types)

    Hi all, I've been using the new "Mosaic" interface for TWS since I've had an account at IB, and I've generally been pretty happy with it. But I now realize that it's actually lacking a few features that exists in the "Classic" interface. Is this a known issue or am I just looking in the wrong places?

    Specifically the Mosaic UI has far fewer order types in the Order Entry dropdown (10 total order types, including LMT, MKT, etc.). However, if I switch to the Classic UI, there's 20 order types! The most conspicuous one that I want to use is the Trailing Limit order, which exists only in Classic and not Mosaic. (Mosaic only has Trailing).

    Can anybody help me here? Thanks in advance!

    Did you ever get an answer to this from IB or anyone else?

    Nope unfortunately. I've been coping with it by just switching over to the Classic UI to create or change order types, then switching back to Mosaic for everything else.
