HI,
I am stumoed on how to setup a bracket order with 2 limits at he same time. sounds easy but i want them attached and i do not want one to cancel if one gets filled.

example.

nasdaq at 6960

Bracket:
sell limit 6970
buy limit 6950

if i move the buy up a tick I want the sell limit to move up a tick. I want this to be manual. when one side gets filled I want the other side to remain on the book.

another example that would fill sooner would be..

mkt at 6960
sell limit 6961
buy limit 6959
i do not care which one fills first. I need to be able to move one side and have the other side move up or down to keep my "spread" the same. I will manually be moving one side of the order and the other side should move with it. lastly, when one side is filled the other order does not cancel it stays with it's original priority on the book.
thanks
JAY

p.s. This is a nondirectional strategy that would allow me to keep the opposite (offset) trade on the book with a better time priority.
I have tried lots of different bracket but cannot figure out how to make this one work.
THank you

This really is not directly supported because this involves two Limit orders of different sides. Attached Orders support Target orders and Stop orders of the same side.
