Attaching profit and stop loss order automatically in IB TWS

[hurricane_sh]

In TWS, is it possible to attach a profit taker order and a stop loss order automatically (without clicking "advanced" to change any data)? I only need to do it for es. I used to do it with Button Trader, I don't want to use any third party tools any more. Thanks!

CQG has conditional orders. Most FCMs offer CQG. IB wants you to use TWS which is not a dedicated future’s platform.

Any advanced TWS users?

on the main screen, go to the magnifying glass icon.
Then search BRACKET ORDER.
Then click the relevant link for instructions to set target profit and stop loss levels.

Perfect, that's exactly want I wanted, thank you so much!

patrick can bracket orders be saved and recalled for latter use?

also if that is possible can you save as and rename it so you don't have to start from scratch?

Hello @MarkBrown. Yes, you may save templates of TT Bracket logic and you may even map those templates to order entry buttons on MD Trader. Here I show the TT Bracket configuration pane with five templates that I have created.
