Help protect gains while limiting losses

You can help reduce or limit your risk with trailing stops and bracket orders using an OCA (One Cancels Another) order. These order types are designed to let your winning trades run and allow for strategic exits if the market moves against you.

Automate your entry and exit strategies

You can easily combine individual orders into an automated entry and exit strategy with conditional orders. Consider creating a conditional order using an OT/OCA (One Triggers an OCA) to submit an entry order and include both a protective exit point (with a stop order) and a target exit point (with a limit order).

Use market conditions to your advantage

If deciding between two securities, consider using a limit order for both and allow the market to determine which order is placed and which is canceled — with either an OCA or OT/OCA (One Triggers an OCA). You can also use Trade Triggers to help you execute your entry and exit strategies by letting you set up orders to be entered in your account based on the market conditions you specify.
