One Cancels Other

A one-cancels-other (OCO) order, sometimes called a bracket order, is used by traders in many financial markets to stay on top of their trades more efficiently. With the One-Cancels-Other EA, you can easily execute an OCO order on your MetaTrader 4 platform.

Say you’re predicting an increase in volatility—a big economic news announcement is coming soon. Use the One-Cancels-Other EA to create a pending buy order above the current market price and a pending sell order below the market price. The news announcement hits: If a new upward trend is established, your pending buy order is executed in the correct direction of the trend. Your pending sell order is automatically cancelled—the one trade has cancelled the other.
