IBKR Custom API Calls?

Hi,

I'm no new to programming, but still finding my ways around algo trading. I've been playing around with IBKR API. Is there a way to send a custom API call with say a bracket or trailing stop order instead of manually programming them in the QC algo?

Thank you!

Hi NZQuant,

It's not possible at the moment to submit these types of orders. However, I've submitted this as a feature request on Github here.

Best,
Shile Wen
