Moving stop and target on chart

[Troder]

Any way to be able to modify a OTOCA trade after the parent is placed?  I like how the stop and target move on the chart before I place the trade but when the trade gets entered the stop and target disappear.  If it was left on the chart I could modify the kids before the trade is filled.

the child orders are not supposed to disappear once the first transaction is executed.

As for modifying the OTOCA once place, that depends on the broker. with Schwab, you cannot do it. with others you usually can. Which broker are you using?

Orders getting sent to Rithmic Trader Pro.  The Stop and Target gets hidden after the trade is placed.  Once executed the parent and kids are displayed once again on the chart.  Problem is after I place the trade, the only order that displays on the chart is the parent.

Just checked sending the order to IB and the kids stay displayed.  Rithmic and the kids become hidden until parent filled. Could you make an option to keep the kids local and sent after the parent gets filled?  That way I could actively modify the kids before the trade gets filled and the broker would not matter.

sorry for the delay. Just had a chance to check and there is definitely something messed up with the handling of the orders. I am also not seeing the open orders in R|Trader, which I believe should be visible even for stuff that is going through. I have a feeling something on their API has changed. Will have to check further and get back to you.
