New user. I am setting up to trade directly from SC Chart Trader to IB Advisor Account. If I want the attached orders from SC to be in control, do I uncheck the box in More IB Settings that says Use IB Managed OCO and Bracket Orders?
If I have stops and targets set in Trader Work Station at IB, do I need to disable or remove them in order for them not to intervene with the SC trade parameters?
I entered the sub accounts in the Positions box, nothing in the Order Account box. When I place the trade, all orders show, Limit entry, stop-loss and target. Once filled the entry order, with the running p&l disappears. It doesn't do this in regular non-advisor account trading. What do I need to set correctly in order for the entry line with running P&L to continue showing after entry and TWS sends the units to the sub accounts? Thanks

What exactly do you mean by " SC to be in control"?

We would not think so. But we do not know the full context of the question. This is too vague.

You need to use the independent Position tracking feature:
