Thank you for your response. I have some follow up questions about properly setting up SC. Thank you for your help in advance.

1- BE function: I continue to have issues with the BE button regardless of what I have for offset. For a 1 target (limit) and 1 Stop (Market stop) OCO, if the position is in the red, the Stop market executes immediately. The setting is set on move the closest stop to breakeven, (the other option does not do anything at all). It makes sense if it tries to bring the Stop market to breakeven and executes it on the spot (Not at breakeven or any predefined offset levels). So I am not sure exactly what the BE button is supposed to do in the presence of a stop market order in an OCO.

2- I have two chartbooks open in two separate screens. Orders placed on one, do not show up on the other one. The proper setting seem have been selected for showing orders and chart trading being enabled.

3- Curious as to any existing best practices to use SC with stocks. For example, I don't think having a separate chartbook for each symbol would make sense.

4- Is there a possibility of "symbol linking" between platforms? Ex. TC2000 (for equity market/scanners/watchlists) linked to SC in order to trade/further analysis with IBKR as the broker? For example, if I click on a symbol in TC2000 watchlist, SC would automatically load the stock ready for trading through IBKR?

Thank you
