I've gone through your documentation and I'm still having trouble having success with 2 types of oco orders. #1. for example 6 contracts. 2 targets. target 1 10pts, target 2 30pts. Stop loss is same for all contracts. Target 1 is reached and 3 are sold and 3 contracts remain and go to B/E. then trail 1pt after target 1 reached and target 2 remains. #2. same 6 contracts stop loss for all contracts Target 1 10 pts 3 contracts off. target 2 20pts and 2 contracts off. remaining 1 contract trails 1 point after target 1 and trails 5pt after target 2 hits. last remain contract is manual exit. Lastly, sometimes when I have simple OCO bracket with two targets, sometimes there remains open OCO order after I'm flat. I'm unable to figure why this is happening? |

Attached is an image of the setup you would use for Situation #1. Situation #2 can not be done directly with the attached orders, as you can not have a trail of 1 point and then a trail of 5 points. A single trail of 1 or 5 can be done, and would be the same setup as we give for #1, but you would have a different quantity for Target 2. The only way to get exactly what you want for situation #2 would be to create a custom study to control that Stop.

I followed the image you provided with the following results. the only change I did was change the stop loss offset from 5 to 10. It created an additional oco order. After the position went flat , the oco order remained live. I have send this happened on many occasions with different configurations. Is there a setting in global settings or else where that is causing this to happen? I've provided two images for you to view.

You have two Stops and a single Target. You should have 2 targets and a single Stop. The targets are standard Limit orders each with the offset you want. Then there is a single Stop setup as we show in the image we provided. The Group for the Stop needs to be set to "All OCO Groups".
