Hi, silly question but I am confused. I want to put 2 basic orders OCO. One for Stop Loss and one for Take Profit. Assume I buy USDJPY and being long. What orders (basic) are OCO to SELL USDJPY at a lower price (STOP LOSS) and SELL USDJPY at a higher PRICE (Take profit). You have orders I have not seen on other platforms. OCO LIMIT AND STOP ..OCO LIMIT AND STOP LIMIT. what is the basic order OCO for stop loss and take profit?

You will want to enter the Stop Loss and Take Profit as Attached Orders. The Stop Loss will be a "Stop" order type and the Take Profit will be a "Limit" order type. Refer to the following:

You would need to use a Stop order type that is one of the "Trailing" types. Refer to the following:
