IB brackets

Quote from Jayford:

OK,

I know this has been beaten to death, but I have a prob I didn't see in previous posts.

I wish to set a bracket on a FILL, not an order. Anyone able to do this?

If not possible, then I wish to specify a limit price and have IB bracket this. I can only do this via the menu method, but cannot specify target parameters here. With hotkeys all parameters are definable, but brackets are automatically figured on the current market. Great for scalping, but I often place orders a bit off the market.

Thanks for any insight,

Jay

I'm not sure if is this you asking for, but with TWS , go to configure menu, Hot keys, then customize, you can set up bracket orders as your stop method, and create stops and targets using offset criteria from the bid, ask or last price.So every time you click to buy or sell you gonna have your stop and your profit target in the "armed" mode with a bracket with just a click on the main order !!

How can I setup an order where, if it gets executed, it cancels my stop?

Any way to create a bracket order using by default stop limit orders instead of stop orders?

As far as I know you can set Stop Limit orders as your default order going to Configure>orders>Orders default>Order Type.This is for the main order only.For Stop orders in the Bracket you can always change it once is armed in the Type column

Nope, this isn't what i want, but thanks anyway. I already do this.

Do you have a website for autotrader. Doing a google search turns up the auto company.
