Workaround to use 'Trailing stop' for an order for a different Symbol

I am working on an algorithm to use 'Trailing stop' on a different symbol from the main chart but SC does not support this feature. I am getting SCTRADING_UNSUPPORTED_ATTACHED_ORDER (-4). Is there a workaround to use this order type?

Thanks in advance

In the next release you will be able to use any of the trailing stop order types for Attached Orders when submitting an order for a different symbol or trade account.

However, this particular error message indicates you are trying to use more than one target or stop order:
SCTRADING_UNSUPPORTED_ATTACHED_ORDER

Only one Target and Stop order can be used at most. That limitation will always remain. So you will need to send separate orders for additional targets and stops.
