How do I place a stop loss order in TWS?

In the Mosaic Order Entry panel, attach a Stop Loss order to a primary order by expanding the Advanced panel and selecting Attach Stop Loss/Profit Tacker/Bracket. Check the Stop Loss checkbox, enter the order parameters and submit. In Classic TWS, right-click on an order management line, select Attach followed by the desired order type under Stop Loss. Define the order parameters and transmit. If the order has been submitted but has not yet executed, you can right-click on the order line in the Pending orders window and select Attach followed by the desired order type under Stop Loss. Define the order parameters and transmit.

Additional information on the Order Entry panel and the order management line can be found in our Users' Guide.
