Move Entry Orders from an OTOCO Order

Brief

The article explains all possible ways of moving entry orders from an OTOCO order.

Details

You can move an entry order from an OTOcj order to the Entry orders list or any other contingent order. Note that the orders, the rates of which are set in pips, cannot be moved to the Entry orders list, as all entry orders should have their rates presented in the market price values.

To move one or more entry orders from an OTOCO order

1. In the OTOCO list of the Orders window, click an entry order that you want to move from its OTOCO order. To select more than one order, hold down CTRL and click orders of your choice.
2. Drag the selected order(s) to a destination of your choice: the Entry Orders, OCO, OTO, or another OTOCO lists.
   The following scenarios are possible:

• If you drag the selected entry order(s) to the Entry Orders list, the Do you want to remove order(s)... from OTOCO order? message appears.
  
  
  
  Note: Primary OTOCO orders cannot be moved to the Entry Orders list; if you drag all secondary (OCO) orders from an OTOCO order, its primary order becomes a regular entry order and moves to the Entry Orders list as well.
  
• If you drag the selected entry order(s) to OCO, primary OTO, or another OTOCO orders, the Do you want to move order(s)... to another OCO/OTO/OTOCO order? message appears.
  
  
  
  Note: Primary OTOCO orders cannot be moved to OCO and OTOCO orders; if you drag all secondary (OTO) orders of an OTOCO order, its primary order becomes a regular entry order and moves to the Entry Orders list.
  
• If you drag the selected entry order(s) to the OCO header, the Do you want to create a new OCO order based on order(s)...? message appears.
  
  
  
  Note: Primary OTOCO orders cannot be moved to the OCO header; if you drag all secondary (OCO) orders from an OTOCO order, its primary order becomes a regular entry order and moves to the Entry Orders list.
  
• If you drag the selected entry order(s) to a secondary OTO order, the Move order(s) dialog box appears.
  
  
  
  Note: Primary OTOCO orders cannot be moved to the OTO header; if you drag all secondary (OCO) orders from an OTOCO order, its primary order becomes a regular entry order and moves to the Entry Orders list.
  In the Move order(s) dialog box, specify the following parameters:

• In the Levels box, click the arrow , and then, in the list that appears, select a level or your choice.
• In the Primary Order box, click the arrow , and then, in the list that appears, select an order number of your choice.

The entry orders disappear from their lists and appear in the lists of their destinations.
