Modifying orders on the DOM

[James]

Appreciate your help as I'm learning the software:

1. After I transmit a bracket order on the DOM can I then adjust it by sliding the capsules up and down without having to cancel it first?

2. What is the best way to enter a bracket order after I have entered the trade on the DOM?

Thanks!

That depends on the broker. TDM Ameritrade, for example, does not allow you to modify conditional orders so you would have to cancel and re-enter. Most others do let you modify, in which case you can just drag the individual orders right on the DOM

you can select BRACKET order as an order type right on the DOM assuming you have order types set to be shown.

Does IB let you modify on the DOM?

yes
