TC, speaking of trailing a stop - At IB, it seems that the "add a trailing stop to a limit order" means that if you know ahead of time (before you enter a trade) you will want to exit with a trailing stop, you can enter the BUY order with an attached trailing stop SELL order, which gets activated only when your buy order executes. You can't attach a trailing stop to an existing sell limit order - the trail only gets activated when the limit order executes. Do you know how to attach a trailing stop to an EXISTING position at IB? TIA
