1. Where’s Book Order on the Desktop Platform? 2. I want to go from Portfolio back to chart page. Currently, I have to click on Watchlist/ symbol/ charts.

i’ve tried to cancel an order, pressing X removed the line from the chart and cancel message pops up but in the orders screen the order still active (in the web portal it appears as well). bug ? makes this platform unreliable and hence unusable.
Thank you for commenting. Please submit a web ticket if this occurs again while you’re using IBKR Desktop, so our team can take a closer look: https://spr.ly/IBKR_TicketCampus
when i placed an order and forgot to add stopp loss. How can i do it later?
Thank you for asking. In all platforms, you cannot technically attach children orders to an order once it is filled. In TWS, there is a quick way to add an attached order once submitted by clicking the little dropdown. We do not have this shortcut yet in IBKR Desktop; however you can right click > Modify > Add attached order from the full order ticket. We hope this is helpful!
Hi, I would like to work out how to place trailing stop orders on the desktop app. I cannot find any information on that, can you help please?
Thank you for commenting. At this time, you can attach stop loss and/or profit taker orders to your primary order. To attach orders, click Buy or Sell and expand the “Attached” section below the order parameters. https://ibkrguides.com/releasenotes/ibkrdesktop/preview/ntws-preview-v0.06.htm. We will work to bring more features and order types to IBKR Desktop in the future!
There is serious lag on the Advanced charts, just like there is on the mirrored Tradingview charts. Sometimes the price doesn’t update for seconds. If you put the classic chart and the advanced chart side by side with the booktrader, you can see this easily. Any plans to fix this lag with Tradingview?
We’re sorry to hear about the connection issues you experienced. Disconnects can occur if you’re running IBKR’s application at the same time. You can also check our systems’ status here at any time:

In the window holdings when we open one position normally a chart is shown but probably I’ve made one wrong manipulation and the chart is gone. How can I reset it???

Hello, may I know how to display trades on the chart? For example, I buy some stocks and then sell them, how can I display the buying and selling points?
Hello, thank you for asking. To display trades on a chart in IBKR platforms:
Open the chart for the instrument you want to see trades for.
Click on the Edit menu and select Chart Parameters.
In the Chart Parameters window, click on the drop-down menu next to “What to show” and select Trades.
This will display your trades as markers on the chart. Buys will be displayed as green arrows pointing up and sells as red arrows pointing down. We hope this answers your question!
No entiendo para qué sirve el elemento de dibujo de “posición larga”.
Se pueden enviar ordenes de compra y venta combinadas?
Se pueden ajustar sus límites o simepre están fijo?
Incluso narcando fuera del precio marca límites.
Pueden aclarame esto?
Gracias
Gracias por comunicarse con nosotros. Los límites se pueden ajustar en orden arrastrando la línea en el gráfico. Si tiene alguna pregunta adicional, abra un ticket web en el Portal del cliente (haga clic en “¿Ayuda?” en el menú superior derecho y luego en “Centro de mensajes seguros”).
