Hi,

I was wondering if the following is possible:

Place limit long with attached OCO:
-live sell stop (active with server)
-child sell limit target (this is inactive until the limit long is filled)


This is for situations where the sell stop is close to the limit long and someone in the market sells through many levels of bids in one order. In this situation, if the sell stop was inactive/child until limit long hit, we would get an error that the sell stop can't be placed because the price is below the sell stop.

This way the stop is always active, limiting the risk.

If I understood you correctly, I think you need to enable this:

Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> Auto-Send Market Order On Rejected Stop Attached Order

Here is a link to the docs pertaining to that:
