Is it possible to disconnect a pair of OCO orders that were entered via ATM so that I can leave one working and cancel the other?

Hi:
Thank you for your post.
Clicking on the red 'X' next to your profit target or stop loss will cancel your OCO profit target/stop loss order.
You can then re-enter your target and stop manually if you prefer by following the directions below:
- Set strategy to <none>
- Right click in the DOM and enable OCO order
- Then place a limit order where you want to exit at a profit
- Then place a stop order where you want to exit at a loss
- Then right click again and disable OCO order
Best regards,

But what if I want to keep my profit target to preserve que position and only delete the stop. Ideally I would like the ability to place ONLY a profit target after a fill so I could manually add a stop order later.

Hi:
This cannot be done using the ATM Strategy parameters section of the SuperDOM since you are creating a bracketed order preset with a profit target and stop loss.
Please use the procedure outlined below.
- Set strategy to<none>
-Enter your position
- Right click in the SuperDOM and enable OCO order
- Then place a limit order where you want to exit at a profit
-Now, you can wait to enter your stop order until you know where you want to exit
- Then place a stop order where you want to exitat a loss
- Then right click again and disable OCO order
The other option would be to use ATM strategy parameters and then modify the price of your profit target and stop loss once they are submitted.
