One Cancels Other Order (OCO)
An order type consisting of two linked orders — typically a limit order and a stop order — where the execution of one automatically cancels the other. Used for managing risk and profit targets.
Example
“A swing trader set an OCO order with a limit sell at $182 for profit and a stop sell at $168 for protection, automating the exit strategy on her AAPL position.”
