chart trader oco ?

[tonynt]

Hello,

when I bring up a buy-stop-market in chart trader (right click in chart and select buy-stop-market) and then I want to bring up a sell-stop-market with right click as well it doesnt work and I get the attached message. Why please? I have thought this way one can make an entry if price breaks out a range and with OCO the other stop-entry will be cancelled (eg buy-stop-market is filled and same time the sell-stop-market is cancelled). How would this work please?

Thank you!
Tony

Hello Tony,

Can you please re-select the ATM strategy in the entry order window (ChartTrader, SuperDOM, etc) after you submit the first entry order. Once you submit the 1st entry order, the ATM strategy shows a lightning icon. Please re-select the ATM strategy, so it does not show the lightning icon anymore. Then submit the 2nd entry order.

You could also right click in the order entry window and select 'Properties'. Set 'ATM strategy selection mode' to 'Keep selected ATM strategy template on order submission'. That way the ATM strategy does not change to the lightning icon after you submit the 1st entry order. More information and a video on the ATM strategy selection mode can be found at the link below.
