2 questions regarding attached orders oco(bracket orders)

a) is there a way to use the attached bracket orders (oco) if the market moved away from entry by a distance larger than the oco bracket?

--for example filled long cl @ 105.00 mkt rallies to 106.00 and now i want to use a bracket order but my brackets are 20t each side so will it bracket the open position price 105.00 so place orders at 105.20 and 104.80 hence the 105.20 will become a mkt order and be filled immediatley since mkt is currently at 106.00? i didnt want to mess around with a live order so thought i would ask here

b) can i create an attached order out of 2 seperate legs after the fact?

thanks

1. You can subsequently send attached orders based upon the current price and not the average fill price. Here is the documentation for this:

2. Not totally clear about the last question.
