I have noticed you distinguish between "Trading Service supporting Server-side OCO-only" and "TS supporting Server-side bracket orders" functionalities. What's the difference? Thank you. |

An OCO order consists of two orders. A bracket order consists of three orders.

You mean OCO-only Trading service would accept 2 (Buy/Sell) OCO orders irrespective of "parent" order?

Are you referring to two separate sets of OCO orders? Also an OCO order does not consist of necessarily a buy and sell. It can be 2 buy orders and 2 sell orders. Although OCO orders can be used with any service no matter whether they are supported on the server-side or not. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

No, i am referring to 1 set of OCO orders. So, such Trading service would not support sending a "parent" +orders attached to it...Either 1 or 2 (OCO) orders, correct? |

If the service supports an OCO order, then it supports an OCO order. This either can be an independent order or it could be associated with a parent order but Sierra Chart maintains that association internally if server-side bracket orders are not supported. We are not really understanding the purpose of the question. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Pleaaase! I have read the docs and know that Sierra Chart handles attached orders internally,if not specified otherwise. That's not what I am asking! Everybody else around equates OCO (one-cancels-the other) to "bracket". But you don't. I looked over web and couldn't find people mentioning those as different.. And SC has very different attached-order rules/behaviors for Trading services that support server side OCO-only vs. TSs that support "bracket order" functionality. I understood that a typical "bracket" order (as per SC) is a parent(entry) + (up to)2 attached orders(exits). A typical "OCO-only" would be..2 (entries)? ... Is "OCO-only" a specific case of a broader "bracket" definition? IB is listed as supporting both. Which "Management of Attached Orders when Trading Service Supports Server-side Orders" logic is applicable to IB? |

Can you confirm the following for the service that supports OCO only. Scenario 1: I set bracket order, parent limit order waiting to get filled, the two child OCO orders therefore not yet sent to the server side, in the event of connection loss & price reaching parent price level, nothing happens as server sees no orders & no trade happens - Yes? Or does server see parent limit order as standard limit order and fills it in, leaving it vulnerable w/o stop loss? Scenario 2: Im in position, both OCO orders are on the server, I am safe in the event of connection loss - Yes? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-01-31 01:53:38
