The “Exchange” and “Currency” columns help ensure the right security is selected, and is available by default.

Thank you for reaching out. This is possible in the individual line for the Order. However, it is not possible using Basket Trader. You can right-click the order to add the bracket. We hope this helps!

I usually enter bracket orders with a Profit target and a Trail Stp – No issues with parent order and profit target but Trail Stops always remains AT market level and does not move along the corresponding trailing amount. These are all the fields I use in my CSV and corresponding values (i use a $0.90 trailing amount in below example) What do I do wrong? Any field missing? Action = SELL Symbol = AAPL Quantity = 200 SecType = STK Exchange = SMART Currency = USD TimeInForce = DAY OrderType = TRAIL LmtPrice = (blank) AuxPrice = 0.90 StopPrice = (blank) Account = xxxxxxxx AutoCancelDate = xxxxx Rth = TRUE OrderId = (blank) ParentOrderId = (same as parentID) Thanks!

The fields for the csv file do not appear to be formatted in the same way as those in the TWS basket trader.
