I want to create a strategy which will put the following orders onto the IB servers so that it won't matter if NT subsequently becomes disconnected. I understand that my strategy will lose control over the trade in that event and I am comfortable with that possibility, provided that the trade exit parameters reside on IB's servers.
The orders that I need are:
Opening order
One Cancels All order consisting of:
Profit Target based on "Market if Touched" (MIT)
Stop
Exit at Market at a specified time
I can construct this manually on IB and it works successfully, so I know that it is possible from IB's perspective.
I can construct the Opening Order + OCA Target and Stop in NT and it appears to translate onto the IB server, but it is a Limit order at the target price rather than an MIT.
I don't know how to place the Exit at Market at a specified time through NT, nor how to associate it with the OCA Target and Stop.
Your assistance would be most appreciated.
