Hi there. Kind of off topic but on the last paragraph you mention “safe management of bracket orders”. What exactly do you mean? Was there issues with bracket orders not working properly?
For some background information about this, refer to:
Attached Orders: General Management of Attached Orders

There is what we call server-side OCO orders and server-side bracket orders. A bracket order consists of a parent order and two child orders (Target and Stop order).

With Rithmic, only server-side OCO orders are supported. And you have to enable the option for that: Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> Use Server-Side OCO Orders.

The way that Rithmic handles server-side bracket orders is not compatible with Sierra Chart so those are not supported.

So when using Rithmic if Sierra Chart is not running at the time the parent order fills, the target and stop are not going to be transmitted. And therefore there is no protective stop order or a target order even working.

This is why the use of server-side bracket orders is much safer and is the only option when using the Sierra Chart Order Routing Service. It is not possible to disable these orders. They are always server-side. The Sierra Chart Order Routing Service is able to manage bracket orders at sub millisecond speeds. Compare that with the latency involved with an Internet connection, which can take the delay up to potentially hundreds of milliseconds or more. For example, there could be 500 milliseconds or longer (likely) for the Target and Stop order to get placed as compared to .2 millisecond.

This worked on my laptop, however, no luck on my main trading desktop.
