How to Attach a Profit Target and Stop Loss Bracket to a Current Position
From any position, either a stop, trailing stop or a profit target order can be attached. A bracket order of a stop (or trailing stop) and a profit target can also be attached. Here are steps to attaching the orders.
1. Right-click on the position line on the chart

This example uses a long position. A short position can also be used.
2. Select Sell to Close {Sym} at Bracket

This opens a drop down menu. From this menu choose the kind of order to be attached to the position. (Sell bracket with a target/stop is used here as the illustration.)
