Bracket order placing

Hello dear community,

Today I would like to tell you about a very important feature of the professional trading system.

It is about placing a bracket order.

Yes, as far as the market is concerned, you can submit a limit order to sell at a good price and stop-loss to sell the same asset at a bad price

I tried to place two orders for a stock I own. I started by placing a limit order. Then when I want to place a stop-loss, a pop up comes up telling me that I cannot place an order for a stock I do not own.

This makes my investments vulnerable. Otherwise, if I want to place an order to maximize my gains with a limit order I have to sacrifice the ability to protect my position against a price decline with a stop limit.

Best regards,

Yeah you can’t do this in Investment but if you’re day/swing trading in CFD it’s possible.

The solution atm is to set an alert at the price you want to sell or just before and monitor it.

There’s a few similar threads if you search for oco

I can’t believe this still hasn’t been implemented. It’s fairly standard.
