Hi
When trading from the SC chart onto IB, attached orders work fine as long as I have both targets and stop orders.
However, if I wanted to only place a stop attached order, the parent order is placed, but not the child attached stop.
this is the message I get in SC:

Entry Time  Last Activity Time  Symbol  Status  Internal Order ID  Order Type  Buy/Sell  Open/Close  Order Quantity  Price  Price 2  Filled Quantity  Average Fill Price  Parent Internal Order ID  Time in Force  Good Till DateTime  Service Order ID  Trade Account  Link ID  OCO ID  LastOrderActionSource  Client Order ID  Exchange Order ID  Text Tag  TrailOrderOffset  TrailOrderStepAmount
2019-06-07 06:32:00  2019-06-07 06:32:00  SI-201907-NYMEX-USD-1000  Pending Child-Client  2250  Stop  Sell  Close  0  14.34  0.00  0  0.00  2249  Good till Canceled      U7448814  0  2250  SI-201907-NYMEX-USD-1000 [CBV] [M] 60 Min #2 | User order entry | Last: 14.86. Attached Order        0.00  0.00


When done form SC, in IB I see that only the parent order is present.... if I wanted to place a parent & stop only attached order, I can do it without problems in TWS directly, but I'd like to do it from SC the chart

Please advise
thanks

You really also need to use a Target order as well for this to work as you intend and you can just keep that at a faraway price.

ok. Just to make sure... this is a SC restriction?... since in TWS it can be done
