Post From: Automate a stop with a manual limit order once the order is in a trade

This issue I am running into is that the attached stop order initiates once the orders are manually placed on the chart.
No, it does not work this way. The Stop order is actually in a pending state and only becomes active once the parent order fills. Attached Orders: General Management of Attached Orders

You do not need to make this complicated. You will want to use the Attached Order functionality. It will do what you want.
