Post From: Setting up OCO on the fly

I'm not sure if this is possible with SC. I've read through the attached orders documentation and it looks like it is not, but I want to be sure.

I will initiate trades via the DOM for a variable number of contract quantity. Currently, I have it set to have the stop loss order as an attached order and I am putting my targets out there manually. This is all fine if my target is filled first, but in the cases where my stop is filled first, this means I have to manually cancel all to remove the targets. All of this is no problem unless my Internet just happens to go down. If the internet goes down and fills my stop, I would be unable to cancel the target. If I was trading all in / all out, this would easily be solved by just using an OCO, but I am mostly trading all in / scale out and with varying numbers of scales and contract quantity. I would love to reduce this risk through always using OCOs.

Is this currently possible in Sierra? If not, could it be possible to add a target manually and then right click on it so the user can assign it to be grouped with the already submitted stop loss as an OCO?
