[Feature Request] Trailing Stop in Bracket Orders

Open sshcli opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

We need the possibility to submit bracket orders with take_profit and trailing_stop (Instead of stop_loss)

Indeed we do! Alpaca’s documentation states that “Trailing stop orders are currently supported only with single orders. However, we plan to support trailing stop as the stop loss leg of bracket/OCO orders in the future.”

When will this be implemented? it has been discussed for YEARS!

It should not be like that. There is a lot of expectations with Alpaca, every new feature is a boost to your business growth. IMHO, Alpaca' s team should pay close attention to what investors are requesting.

According to this: https://alpaca.markets/learn/13-order-types-you-should-know-about/ take_profit should work. And the article is dated Mar 2022. So take_profit should have been working.

That said, it's December 2023 and trailing_stops is still not supported on bracket orders.
