OCO brackets are not the enemy. Honor the tool, then show the boundary.
Key Points
- What OCO brackets do well: set-and-forget, simple risk/reward
- Every serious trader uses them—rightfully so
- The limitations you may not have realized: static in dynamic markets, scaling friction, single-tactic binding
- When to keep using OCO vs. when precision becomes worth it
Outline

- **Limitation 1:** static levels in dynamic conditions
- **Limitation 2:** scaling friction (partial profits are painful)
- **Limitation 3:** one tactic per position
- **The decision tree:** OCO vs. precision by trader type
