What are bracket orders? (US options and futures)

Bracket orders, also known as a One Triggers and One Cancels Other (OTOCO) order or a One Cancels Other (OCO) order, may be placed using the US options and futures desktop platform when using the 'table' or 'çurve mode' in the 'trade tab'.

Eligible position types for bracket orders

  • Stocks*/ETFs
  • Single-leg equity/ETF options
  • Multi-leg equity/ETF options
  • Futures (including micros & Smalls)

*OTOCO orders are not available when shorting Hard-to-Borrow (HTB) stocks due to the potential of no share availability. However, OCO orders may be used on an already established short stock position that is HTB. Additionally, when using an OCO or OTOCO for any futures position, please be aware that stop market orders are subject to CME's Market Order with Protection handling.
