Bracket orders with several targets

When sending a bracket order with several target orders (using defaults settings), SC seems to breach the DTC protocol. It first sends the parent order, then two OCO orders in a row, with one of the OCO order refering to a unknown parent. How are those bracket orders with multiple targets are supposed to be handled by DTC? The doc about bracket order does not mention this situation.

Are you sure about this? We will have to test this. This would be completely unexpected.

We do not see any problem with this. We just did a test. Both the DTC client in Sierra Chart and a DTC server are in live use for the LMAX trading service without any problems.

Indeed it was a (huge) bug in my code: I was not properly handling chunks of data from SC that contains several messages. Apparently it only arise in the case of such multi target bracket orders since I never ever received a packet from SC containing multiple messages before…
