By doing this, it is as well easy to separate the items; thus, allowing everything fall into the exact places. A one-cancels-the-other order (more commonly referred to as an OCO order) is a stop-loss order paired with a take-profit order. Another interesting feature in the Hinterland is that wineries are located that produce quality wines.
