Alpaca’s documentation states that “Trailing stop orders are currently supported only with single orders. However, we plan to support trailing stop as the stop loss leg of bracket/OCO orders in the future.”
Seeing that this issue has been discussed in this forum for at least 1.5 years, I was wondering when “the future” would be? Could we get an ETA please? On the face of it, the issue seems relatively simple to implement.
I love the alpaca api and it’s very versatile. However this is an important feature that is still missing. It’s been planned for release for over 3 years but still nothing. A short update on this would be much appreciated.
@AlpacaSupport Is there any way we could get a a roadmap on when this feature may be implemented. We’re considering changing brokerages for this feature. It’s hard to plan without a clear picture of what features are incoming given this has been on your documentation for 3+ years.
@Patrick42 Alpaca does not publish a roadmap. Priorities are constantly being rearranged, and even internally they are typically quarter by quarter. Supporting trailing stops on multi-leg orders is not currently on the roadmap.
What is your use case that requires a trailing stop for a multi-leg order?
