How to change : Hold Limit Attached Orders on Client-Side Until Touched

Hello,

Looks like this option "Hold Limit Attached Orders on Client-Side Until Touched" is the new default : I don't see anymore where to change this option and to send limit order with attached stop.

Otherwise, the options for Server Side Bracket Orders is still avalaible, and works fine with Interactive Brokers.

Thanks for your help.
Regards,

You need to use this new order type instead:
Order Types: Limit if Touched - Client

It can be used as an Attached Order.

Maybe I have not been clear, I'm afraid you missed my point.

When I send a limit buy order with a stop attached order, only the limit buy order is transmitted to interactive brokers.
The attached stop order is sent to IB only when my initial limit buy order is executed.

That's definetely not what I want : I want my stop transmitted to the server in the same time as parent order.

This works fine with a bracket order, but not with a stop order.

How can I have the child order sent to the server the same time as parent order ?

Thanks.

This does not make sense. We need to look at the Trade Activity Log. Follow the instructions here:
Trade Activity Log Analysis: Support Assisted Trade Activity Log Analysis

There is no need to make a payment for the analysis. But we need the details requested.

I agree, does not make sense...
See last trade : sell limit order (not executed as I upload the file) with attached stop, which is client sided.

Okay we understand the problem. When there is only one Attached Order it is not possible for it to be a server-side order attached to the parent. That is not supported. At least we are not aware that Interactive Brokers supports this and even if they did it is not a feature that we would use.
