Your suggested item 3, using the Trade Window in that fashion, is very very confusing to say the least, including having to select a price instead of 'ticks away'.
If you select the 'Trailing Stop' method, and hit the wrong BUY or SELL button it enters a new Trade; which is something that should not occur (as all you opted to do is place a Stop).
If you select 'OCO Limit and Stop', ...
Limit 3080
while current Price 3050
Stop 3020
In this configuration you'd (at first instance) assume hitting the BUY button, but its the SELL button that needs to be hit.

As matter of fact, when placing any (additional protective) Orders [[to current Live Orders]] using this method, except for (instant) Market-Entry-Orders, the BUY SELL buttons should disappear and a "PLACE ORDER" Button instead (perhaps) should appear.

Same as right-click (ie) 'Buy Trailing Stop' and 'Sell Trailing Stop', if right-clicked at the other non-obvious choice (above/below current price), it enters you in another trade when all you wanted to do is place a protective Trailing Stop. Again, placing any "additional protective" orders (limit-stop-trailing-oco, etc.) should have a built in 'safeguard' preventing it becoming a Live Entry. Or a Global Settings, for when placing any non-direct-MARKET-Entry-Orders (ie. protective Stop/Limit type orders to current position), will not execute an instant Entry-Order if selected the other non-obvious button/choice instead.

Can Support (and other users) please respond and share your views as the above, should be given consideration. ... Look we all done it, hit buy when it should have been sell, placed a stop/limit in the wrong direction, and while we all have a good degree of understanding Buy-Sell order placement, its when we are faced with "other non-obvious" buttons/choices like OCO orders ... this is when it gets tricky; but the last thing the platform should not do, is enter a new Trade (by mistake) when all we wanted is to 'place' a Stop or Limit Order of some sort.
