Post From: Simple OCO bracket placed around EXISTING naked Position

Hello,

I've read through all of the support and watched videos, but cannot figure out to place this basic OCO order:

Assume I made MKT BUY of 4 lots /ES (no attached orders...just hit MKT BUY and was filled). Now, I want to place an OCO Sell Limit and Sell Stop around that existing position.

I've tried all of the OCO options/Simple Bracket selection, selected attached orders, un-selected attached orders, etc., and all give me the same result: A single Sell Limit above my position and/or single Sell Stop below my position. No OCO. I'd like them to be connected as an OCO.

Again, I'm only having this problem when I have an existing position WITHOUT any other attached orders, i.e., when I would hit BUY MKT without any attached orders. In this scenario, with this 'naked' position, how would I go about placing Sell OCO bracket around it?

Thank you,

Mike Beck
