IB API for bracket orders

P

pismo10

Looking for an API for IB's stand alone TWS that can automatically place a limit and stop order as soon as I place/fill a trade.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
 
Bracket trader won't do it, ironically. BT wont allow BE stops when target touched, just when filled (which by then i dont need a stop any longer...)

Very flexible, can do almost anything. Nice DOM with lots of buttons. Pricey tho....

Really? You think $50 a month is pricey? That is 1 ES point on one contract a month to cover that. If you trade 5 contracts, you cover that in one tick.
 
Perhaps Ninja has improved but when I looked into presending of all orders immediately they didn't allow for it. That was in Feb. I use Button Trader. It's the only front end I could find with the ability. Love it!
 
Yes, I find it pricey to do something this simple (place an OCA bracket order correctly). TWS alone should be able to do it.
