How to assign different OCO group to limit/stop

View Count: 1274

If I enter a trade forgetting to attach the order bracket, how can I make sure that the limit and the stop that I manually add are of the same oco group? And if they aren't how do I assign them the same OCO group?

I have looked in the trade and positions window and they currently have different internal order IDs (so I assume are not the same OCO group?!).

Thank you.

Follow these instructions:
Order Types: Send Attached Orders - Position/Price

The orders will definitely always have different internal order IDs. You need to look at the OCO ID column:

Ok so I need to first add the OCO order through the customise chart trade menu.
I have done so and they now appear as options on the Dom when I right click.

So what you're saying is that when I want to add a sell stop and a sell limit (to my buy order), I need to add "OCO Buy Limit Sell Limit" and "OCO Buy Stop Sell Stop" items from the customise chart trade menu and then place those at the appropriate prices on the ladder?

We apologize. We meant to give you a link to the Send Attached Orders Order Type:
Order Types: Send Attached Orders - Position/Price

That is what you want to use instead.

If you tell me now that what this does is add my attached orders to the current position if I entered it naked by mistake, I'm gonna jump for joy!!!

Does this only work with live positions (whether send attached orders by position or by price) in the market?
I cannot seem to add the attached orders to a limit order that has not been filled yet...

Yes this is the case.

You can send Attached Orders when there is not a position but it needs to be done through the Trade Window and you need to use the Send Attached Orders-Price Order Type and enter the price. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
