OCO Buy Stop Limit Sell Stop Limit (Auto-Set)

I enter an OCO buy and sell order using this order type. The order is entered with the auto offset feature. Is there any way to adjust the price of the orders by moving an individual order and maintaining the original offset?

Normally OCO brackets maintain their offsets when the parent order is modified. This can be tested in Sim mode.

Yes, the target maintains the offset when the parent is modified. But I have a Buy and a Sell order, both with targets. I'm trying to move (for example) the Buy order up and have the Sell order move up the same amount... maintaining the original offset. Targets should adjust as usual.

I see what you mean. I could develop a custom study that maintains the separation between parent orders.

Thanks for the offer. I can do that too. I was hoping it was already a feature in SC.

No answer SC? I hate being ignored.

We needed to do some testing regarding this. We were not sure about the answer. We checked and this is not supported. The closest option is this one:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Maintain Same Offset Between Target and Stop Attached Orders (Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> General)

We could add an option to do what you want though for top level OCO were spread
