What's New in this Release

Bracket Orders

A bracket order is a multiple leg order-places-order (OPO).  The first leg is an order with any regular order type (main leg).  The second leg has two legs.  The first leg is a limit or iceberg target order (profit leg) and the second leg is a stop order (loss leg).  The first leg can be a trailing limit order and the second leg can be any type of stop or stop limit order.

Filling or partially filling the main leg triggers an OCO of the second leg, which has two legs itself – a profit leg and a stop loss leg.  If one of those orders is filled, then the other order is cancelled.
