If I place order (example buy) with ATM strategy and after that I place an limit order to oposite direction (sell) and that will happen (situation flat) I would like to all other pending limits to be canceled. Sort of OCO order but couldn't set it via OCO. Reason for that is that those limits might be so far a way so i don't know how to pick those to near and I use trailing stops which migh suprise after that.

Basic q. I guess?

Hello raffu,

Thank you for your post.

You should be able to use OCO for this.

Right click > Enable OCO.
Place both orders.
Right Click > Disable OCO.

Any order placed with the OCO flag enabled will be part of the same OCO group.

You can disable the "AutoCenter" on the dom by right clicking > Unchecking Autocenter. This will allow you to scroll to any area of the dom.

One tricky element to this is if you are using ATM strategies. After placing the first order, the ATM strategy might be set to *Active and this means you will have to change from *Active to just the name of the ATM strategy before placing the second order.

Thanks, the tricky part was to pick the active strategy from the list first.
