Server-managed brackets...help?

I don't really understand what this means, specifically how it differs to server-managed OCO, and I've read everything I can on Sierra Chart's website about it.

My understanding of server-managed OCO...

Example: When I place a buy-stop order above current price (with stop-loss and take-profit orders attached), the 'parent' buy-stop goes instantly to the exchange, and the two attached 'child' orders are sent to an intermediary server, waiting for the buy-stop to be filled, at which time they too are both sent to the exchange. Then, if the take-profit is eventually filled, the intermediary server cancels the stop-loss order (OCO).

So what is an example of how server-managed brackets work?

Thank you.

I'm with AMP and want to use Sierra Chart's Teton Order Routing, but AMP does not yet support it.

Can you answer my question from the perspective of Teton?

Thank you.

This is correct:

Then, if the take-profit is eventually filled, the intermediary server cancels the stop-loss order (OCO).
And this functionality occurs in under 1 millisecond.

Great.

So we've established how server-managed OCO works, in the form of an example.

Could you please now do the same for server-managed brackets? I don't understand the difference.

Thank you.

The description you gave is exactly how a server managed bracket order works.

Okay, thanks.

So if an order routing service only offered server-managed brackets, the trading software would still manage the OCO function on the trader's local computer. Is that correct?

There is no service that Sierra Chart supports which offers only server managed bracket orders and not server managed OCO orders.
