Hi,
I have a question about connection of tradework station (Interactive Brokers) and Sierra Chart.
I am using sierra chart data feed. When I connect to tws everthing works fine. I am trading thru DOM (clicing right to to DOM) but I have a problem with sending my attached orders together with the original buy/sell order. The only order that I see appearing in TWS is the current buy/sell order but I dont see my stop and profit target being placed in together with it. I used to trade this way few years ago and I always saw my attached orders (stoploss and profit target) being placed to TWS together at the same time. Like this it seems to me that if I place the buy/sell order and my computer got disconected my order will stay in TWS waiting to fill without SL and PT. Can you help me with settings so attached orders are sent together with the buy/sell order?

Thank you very

Jakub

Thank you for your quick reply? Might I ask what would the benefit for me for using Sierra Chart Order Routing Service since? As far as I understand, when the parent order is transmited to TWS together with Bracket order, even when I got disconected or my Sierra Chart freezes or whatever, my orders (parent with bracket) are already in TWS and I am not stuck in the trade without stoploss.
Maybe I am missing someting. Please share your thaughts.

Thank you very much in advance
