Bracket Orders

[hothomas]

When I place an order on the FXPro using NT and add my stop loss and profit targets to the parent using the ATM strategy order window the bracket orders are not being sent to the market once the parent order is filled. I have to manually go in and place OCO orders instead. This has happened on several occasions. What's the fix?

Thanks

I have another question regarding bracket orders, I've attached some code....

if (!ShortEntryOrderFilled) {

Print(Time[0].ToLongTimeString() + " " + ToTime(Time[0]) + " : " + Open[0].ToString() + ">>> Order:: SHORT: " + ShortEntry.ToString() + "[" + ShortEntryStop.ToString()+ "]");

ShortEntryOrder = EnterShortStopLimit(LotSize, ShortEntry, ShortEntry, "SHORT");
if (ShortEntryOrder != null)
Print("ShortEntryOrder>> " + ShortEntryOrder.ToString());
}

if (!LongEntryOrderFilled) {

Print(Time[0].ToLongTimeString() + " " + ToTime(Time[0]) + " : " + Open[0].ToString() + ">>> Order:: LONG:" + LongEntry.ToString() + "[" + LongEntryStop.ToString() + "]");
LongEntryOrder = EnterLongStopLimit(LotSize, LongEntry, LongEntry, "LONG");
if (LongEntryOrder != null)
Print("LongEntryOrder:" + LongEntryOrder.ToString());
}

Can you shed some light as to why the second order is ignored? I'm trying to place two stop limit orders, one below the current price to go short and one above the current price to go long but the second order is ignored.

I appreciate your time !

Thanks - David

There probably is an entry in your log with the reason why.
