We are releasing version 1165. It has server side bracket order support for Interactive Brokers.

To use this, you need to enable Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> Use Server-Side OCO and Bracket Orders.

This feature has not been well tested, so please test it on an IB paper trading account first. Although since Interactive Brokers is managing the bracket order, there really is not much functionality to it within Sierra Chart. When Sierra Chart is managing the bracket order on the client-side, there is a considerable amount of more sophistication behind the management of the orders compared to when 3 orders are merely transmitted to the trading service.

We really expect there to be no problems at all with this feature. Up until about 2010, Sierra Chart did support server-side brackets with IB. At that time, we implemented our own Bracket order functionality which worked across all trading services. While we still supported the server-side OCO, the child orders were held back on the client-side until the parent order filled.

Next we will be adding bracket order support for CQG followed by DTC and OEC. In the case of CTS, we have contacted them about this, we would like some further improvements on the CTS side before we implement this.

We will be finishing up with bracket orders for these other services next week.

The next item for us to complete is multiple simulation accounts. You will be able to have up to 100 simulation accounts.

While we have talked about adding this functionality for a long time, we apologize for the long delay. We would like to point out we were able to deliver this without opening a brokerage like our competitor claims they need to. And force you to trade with them to get this functionality.
