Hello, thank you for reaching out. You will have to calculate the profit yourself.
However, if you create a bracket order after you fill the order, you can view the potential profit and loss. This can be accomplished by using the exit strategy tool.
Please follow these steps:
Right click the security in your portfolio
Create the target / stop exit bracket
This will show you the potential profit or loss. Please view this User Guide for more information: https://www.ibkrguides.com/iphone/exit_strategy.htm
We hope this information is helpful!

If I am selling a put option and I insert a take profit, I’d like to see the potential profit in value (as I can do on webapp) when I change the take profit limit (in this case representing the purchase price of the option). Is it possible?

Hello, thank you for reaching out. You can use the Exit Strategy feature to set up a bracket order on a current position or working order. Bracket orders are designed to help limit loss and protect profit by “bracketing” an order with two opposite-side orders that ready to go and are submitted when the price of the instrument penetrates either order’s trigger price.

Thank you for reaching out and we apologize for the delayed response. Please review our available Order Types on our webpage: https://spr.ly/IBKR_OrdersCampus

Can you set up a bracket order where, for instance, you buy 300 shares, wish to sell 200 upon reaching a first target price and leaving the next 100 shares to reach target price #2, all the while employing the same buy price and atop loss limits.

Thanks,

Asher

Hello, thank you for reaching out. You can set up stop orders on individual positions on your account, but they will only trigger during regular trading hours for that product. For products that support trading outside of regular hours, you can enable the Extended Hours feature just below the Time in Force section of the order ticket. Extended Hours is only available for Limit orders.

Please view this User Guide for more information on our Order Types in TWS:

We hope this helps!

I would like to clarify whether purchase BRACKET ORDERS on TWS can execute a STOP LOSS sale order outside of Regular Trading Hours (RTH). Is it possible to set up a STOP LOSS order that executes during extended trading hours, or are there specific restrictions regarding this?

Could you also advise on best practices or alternatives available for risk management outside of RTH?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best regards,
Jean-Pierre Sablier
