  How come I cant drag the capsule up or down on an active order ?

 

This is on the chart trader.  I know this was working recently

would not be able to do it if the order cannot be modified. For example, Trailing stop orders on TD Ameritrade.  What type of order? what broker?

[stock777]

 Simple ota on Ameritrade.   Cant modify that ?

 

This is before the parent is executed

Basically, even if they didnt allow it, all you'd need to do is cancel replace

 

Stating the obvious, Im sure you know this 😊

 Simple buy order  is working as intended, so its the ota leg thats the issue

[Jerry Medved]

TD Ameritrade's conditional orders cannot be modified

[stock777]

strange. 

as I said, you could simple cancel the existing order and replace it with the modified one on your end.

any reason not to do that ?

 

basically,  thats what the user will have to do, and is an extra step in recreating the order

we do that for some orders for brokers that don't support modify at all. As for conditional orders, we would have to cancel both and resubmit, which leaves the order unprotected since the trigger could occur during the process. Plus, we cannot guarantee that the new order will be successful - could have one side fail causing the entire thing to fail. 

We do not want to manage orders or deal with the issues that come with it.
