Stop order not visible in TWS

[billitin]

Hi, I've got an automated strategy running and thanks to all the support I've found here it's doing fine. There's one thing I'm concerned about though. When I place a bracket order it does get filled on either side, however in TWS (I'm with IB) I can see only the limit order placed. It's kinda scary if it means that should Internet/TWS/NT freeze the proposed stop won't be executed by the brokerage. Maybe I missed something in configuration?

Thanks in advance.

How are you placing a bracket order?

Here's the script sample:

protected override void Initialize() {
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate() {
....
EnterShort( amount, 'sell' );
SetProfitTarget ( 'sell', CalculationMode.Ticks, 20 );
SetStopLoss ( 'sell', CalculationMode.Ticks, 60, true );
}

Do this:

EnterShort( amount, 'sell' );
SetProfitTarget ( 'sell', CalculationMode.Ticks, 20 );
SetStopLoss ( 'sell', CalculationMode.Ticks, 60, false);

hmm but then how do I attach a stop-limit order to my order?

You can try ExitLongStopLimit()
