Hi all!
Is it possible to configure bracket orders in CTS? With TP and (or not) SL associated to an order?
i.e. if I got filled at 3.00, set my profit at 3.20 and NO SL, or, set my profit at 3.20 and SL at 2.90.
Is this possible right now?
Thanks a lot.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?

You can use the AutoOCO order type to set the bracket along with the entry order. You can also use a standard OCO order for just the stop and the limit. If you are unsure how to do this, see the user guide here

Thank you for your answer Josh.
Yes, I know how to use OCO or AutoOCO order, but, correct me if I'm wrong, with that kind of orders, you always have to set a SL.
Dependind on the product I'm trading, and the strategy, sometimes I don't set an stop loss order automatically.
Is there any way to do this?

Make the stop loss ridiculously far away from your entry, which is nearly the same as no stop loss at all.
I do this sometimes with some profit targets - they are way far away from entry, since I don't want them..

That's the decission I have made, but... it's not a serious solution.

Another question guys... I promise to be the last one
Some products (like Wti/Brent) don't allow me to use OCO /AutoOCO orders. Is it something I have to talk to my clearing or it depends on the platform?

I have downloaded the T4 platform for use and learning. This is the worst platform I have ever seen and can't figure out how to even place a single trade on demo/sim.
