Auto Attach Trailing Stop or Stop for IB

[bluenote]

Hello......

Is it possible to attach a Stop Order or Auto Trailing Stop Order immediately once an order is filled while using IB integrated trading.

This function is possible in IB's own standalone TWS...but can this be done through Esignal's integrated trading panel ?


Thanks a lot !

Hi Bluenote,

Yes it is possible. It's a little tricky to explain, so hopefully the screenshot below will help a bit. During the course of building an Order Ticket, you can designate certain orders as stops and trailing stops based on the bid, ask, last price and so on. This allows your stop to be ratcheted up or down depending on the trade direction.

In this case, I set my stop to Buy if the price went .75 points / cents against me.
