Question can you designate an OCO after you've placed an order

Guys,

If I place an SL order and then a TP order. can I designate the TP order to cancel the SL order? Can I do so after I actually place the TP?

Can I do the contrapositive? That is can I designate the TP to be cancelled if the SL is executed?

Hi crmcwi,

An OCO order must be setup before submitting the orders.

More info at - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...ManagingOrders

If you use ATM Strategies, a strategy with a Stop Loss and Profit Target will automatically submit as an OCO order.

thank you Tim. I'm still struggling with the ATM stuff. I don't know why.. I can program NJ script pretty well, but am having a hard time wrapping my head around the ATM stuff.
