1. If a simple bracket order is generated via Use Attached Orders, and the trade becomes profitable, can the stop loss order be manually changed to a trailing stop.

2. If no Attached Order Simple Bracket is created, how can I manually create a trailing stop when the position is profitable?

1. No, you would have to cancel the existing stop and submit a new trailing stop.

2. Refer to:

Although if you just simply want to send a single Trailing Stop order, then you just submit the Trailing Stop as a simple new order without any Attached Orders.
