Are attached stop loss orders server-side or client-side?

I am set up to trade futures where placing an entry order automatically creates an attached stop loss order. My concern is what happens if my local system fails. If my entry order is filled and the position is open, and then my computer crashes or my internet connection is lost, will that active stop loss order still execute? |

Stops and Targets that are straightforward Limit orders are actually held on the exchange themselves, so you do not need to worry about these. As to other order types (such as a "Limit Chase") it depends on the trading service you are connected to as whether they are held on servers by that service or are only local to your computer. Refer to the following: Attached Orders: Introduction Another thing to keep in mind is that if you are using any "Move to Breakeven" options, then those are only on your local computer and the updates to the orders are sent as appropriate from your system, so if you do not have connectivity, then those updates will not occur.
