I have watched a few videos on DOM setup, and I have my DOM like I want it. I trade off the DOM 100% of the time.

I have set up a bracket, I would like to place my initial order with a stop loss and target.

But if I am in a trade and want to get out quick, would like to just click the DOM and place an exit trade (scratch the trade). I have used flatten button before and had not so good fills. When I try to place my exit trade, it is using my bracket. I see there is a use attached order button, but won't be too quick if I have to click that and then go back to the DOM and place an exit order.

Also if this is not a good place to have such discussions, please let me know.

Check 'Use Attached Orders' before you place an order, so that the target and stop are automatically applied.

The target and stop offsets use the Trade Window config file settings (*.twconfig).
For a simple bracket, use the dropdown at the top of the Trade Window, and select 'SimpleBracket'
You can then edit the target and stop offsets.
To save the settings: Main tab >> M button >> Save Configuration

The Flatten button is the quickest way to exit, and slippage is possible.
You can also drag the target or stop to a new location.
