Post From: Setting up OCO on the fly

NinjaTrader has a really neat "OCO Order" keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-Z by default if I remember correctly) where you can create OCOs "on the fly" from the DOM or chart. I also realize that I leave dangling take profit limit orders out there; a potential disaster if I ever lose connection. It would be a really helpful feature.. However, CME does indeed use FIFO for stops on most products (equities and treasures) and so you would lose your place in queue when re-submitting the orders after each modification. Logistically, how would it work? edit: My personal use case would be initiate a position with a -4t stop attached child, and then later I could add a take profit limit order, perhaps by holding down a modifier key, which would cancel the existing child and resubmit the two as an OCO. On the fly balancing could be tricky.. for example what if my existing stop is 4 ticks but I add 8 ticks worth of limits? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-04-13 20:59:01
