Can anyone explain this? I've read many times and cannot understand it.

When it states that two orders in one OCO group have Attached Orders, is it saying that for a Long position, the Sell Stop and Sell Limit orders have their own Attached Orders?

And what is a top level OCO?


When using any of the OCO Order Types and each of the two orders in the OCO Group have Attached Orders, then the top level OCO order which both have Attached Orders will not be server side even when Use Server-side OCO is enabled. Although the Attached Orders when submitted to the trading service after the parent order fills, will use server-side OCO when Use Server-side OCO is enabled.

This is referring to order types like this:
Order Types: OCO Buy Stop Sell Stop

You can safely disregard that note. It does not apply to what you are describing.

Please describe what a "top level OCO order" is that the documentation refers to. I don't understand what exactly "will not be server side even when Use Server-side OCO is enabled".

For example in the case of a buy stop and sell stop order that are in an OCO group, both of those are considered top-level orders in their own OCO group. Each of those orders themselves can have Attached Orders.

If this is not clear we recommend using that order type and enable Use Attached Orders on the trade window and you can see how it all works.
