IB: no conditional stop order! any other broker?

Answer: The prices are ignored until the start time is reached, so in your example the stop prices would not be adjusted.

Quote from himself:

Your advice is very helpful.
My question is:
If you follow your example, as above, but as you "create the buy stop order" you also specify that the order does not enter into force until 13:59.

Question: If the trigger price is hit only once,e.g., at 11:00AM will the "Adjust" adjust the prices then, or is the adjustment only empowered after 13:59, when in this case it would be meaningless?

Thank you.

Is there any way to do what I want which is:
The night before, enter an order that if the price goes up to x, and then fails, that a stop order can be placed to go short at the close?
How about a stop limit order to go short at the close?
Thanks
 
hello Pete,

thank you for your help on this forum.

now I got another brain teaser for you or anybody else.

price is 1.5940 and I have a buy stop order @ 1.5950.
this order is triggered and sold @ 1.5975.

now if I`m not at my computer and price drops to 1.5925, how can I already have those conditions in an order to buy @ 1.5950 again?

so price must first rise to 1.5975
then must drop down to at least 1.5925
and trigger a buy stop order to buy @ 1.5950

thank you for your help:)
