Post From: Web Trading Panel - Order Routing whit CQG

I understand your scenario completely. :)

Here's why I addressed it:

1. You send parent order with bracket (take profit and stop hypothetically).
2. Parent does not fill. You have a power outage. Parent is still on server.
3. While power outage occurs, parent fills, but since brackets are locally managed, they go away (no stop protection!).
4. You'd be able to: a) call AMP, or b) use CQG's mobile app to get out of your position, or at the very least, set a stop.

So, with TTFix, brackets were SERVER held; so it's the routing, not the Web Trading Panel that is holding your bracket orders in the case of TT (cancelled for AMP). CQG Web API routing, with Denali DATA does not store BRACKETS (not to be confused with OCO in this case) at the time of order entry, on the server. Anyways, appreciate the kind response. Hopefully this clarifies it for you. Just trying to help a bit :) CQG mobile app because you're using CQG routing, NOT it's shitty data, isn't live updated symbol data, but the account information and position is live and up to date and it will allow you to immediately set stop protection in the event of the scenario above. Cheers!

Edit: on another post, Sierra Chart Engineering has stated they are going to look again short term at whether CQG's Web API can reliably hold brackets.
