Hey Abe, did you experiment with IB's bracket orders feature? It's pretty good for quick trades along with stop/target placement that you can configure in order defaults...

Sorry if this is nothing new to you.
Thanks Nvesta. I looked at IB's bracket order a while ago and was not able to get it to work properly. Currently I setup an order row and right click on it and select auto stop, then type in the stop amount, and then execute the order, which is usually a market order. I feel the process takes too long and sometimes I'm not able to get in when I want. But I should adjust the default stop level to the standard 10 points that I usually use to help speed up the process.

I'm interested in bracket order if it allows partial fills. For example, if I want to trade 2 contracts, can I set a bracket order to sell one contract at +10 and keep the other contract indefinitely?
