Hello trader3000a,

Thank you for your note.

You're running into an issue with the internal order handling rules in that if one entry order in one direction already exists, a second entry order in the opposite direction will be ignored:

In order to place OCO entry orders you would need to use the Unmanaged approach. An example of this may be found on this forum post:
