4. FAQ

 

  • Q: Why are the bracket orders (Stop Loss / Take Profit) cancelled after I modify the parent limit order?

  • A: This is the existing behavior using OKX trade on TradingView.

  • Q: After placing the bracket orders (Stop Loss and Take Profit), when I cancel one of them, why is the other also being cancelled automatically?

  • A: OKX considers the pair of orders as one order. OKX cancels both of them at the same time.

  • Q: Why can’t I modify Stop Market, Stop Limit, Stop Loss and Take Profit orders?

  • A: OKX does not support such functionality currently.

  • Q: Why can’t I modify or cancel a Stop Loss and Take Profit order when its status is inactive?

  • A: The order is a dummy order displayed on TradingView. There is no such order on OKX.

  • Q: Why do I get the error "To place order you need to select a Margin mode in the order ticket" when I trade derivatives through the chart?

  • A: TradingView team is working on it to resolve the issue.

  • Q: Why can’t I trade spot with Stop Loss and Take Profit orders?

  • A: OKX is working on this feature. It will be available soon.

  • Q: Why can’t I trade Futures and Perpetual swap with fractional quantity, instead the quantity is always a whole number?
