Despite reading all the related material on Internet and ToS, I am having trouble understanding and executing
orders on ToS.
Basically I want to execute a long position. So I enter a Buy order for for 254.40 with OCO so that there is stop limit
order for 212.23 (to cut my losses if the stock goes down. I add a trailing stop with -4 to keep my profits
However I discovered both the sells were done and I ended with a short. I thought OCO would cancel the the stop limit
What did I do wrong and what should I have done?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Look at your Trailing Stop by the TR, there is no link or chain signifying that its an OCO link. Also, from the looks of your side scroll bar you might have another order in there. Mine doesn't leave a gap like that unless there is another order not displayed.
Thanks for your response. If you look at the second image, you will see OCO's on the trade. Later on I talked to TOS and he could not explain it and said it may be a bug on the paper-trade version.
