*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.
