Adding a STOP & PT to an existing order

  Is it possible to add a stop loss or profit taker to an existing STOP or LIMIT order? I don’t see how to do it. I use IBKR and it’s possible in TWS.

  If you mean a manual Order then see attached in the upper half of the chart, you will see 3 Orders.

  I placed the SellShort Limit Order and then hovered over this Order and the Buy Stop Order appeared so I clicked on it and then hovered again over the SellShort Order and the Buy Limit Order appeared so I clicked on it.

  Hovering over the existing order for me nothing appears in the same manner as you describe. I’m only able to adjust the quantity and existing limit/stop value, not attach any stop/limit orders.

  Just use these buttons here. It won’t show as attached orders, but they are.
  And under the wrench in that section you will find more possibilities.

  There must be a setting somewhere that I’ve enabled and you haven’t?
  If I recall or come across it I will come back on here.

  Just to clarify I can create an order with an attached stop and PT from scratch by clicking the 2 multi t/s check boxes. I’m talking about adding the Stop and PT to an order already on the chart.

  My screen is the same as that. Clicking modify order only allows me to change the price of the existing order not attach orders. Modify order screenshot attached.
