Trader Workstation ... in order to put bracket orders, trailing stops, multiple orders at the same time (eg: entry with 3 contracts, put stoploss and target 1, target 2 and target 3) ... etc ...

If I'm not wrong it's not possible to do this with TWS alone. I would have to choose another program to act as a day trading frontend.

Well, I've been searching for alternatives ... I found two: Bracket Trader and Button Trader ... but:

* Bracket Trader (https://www.bracket-trader.com/home/): It looks like the site is abandoned some time ago ... its forum is shut down, and the last blog entry is from july 2019 ... the software itself is a 2017 version, which would work with 9.71 ibkr api ...
Any of you is currently using this API?

*Button Trader (https://www.buttontrader.com/): In the site says this API will no longer be offered to consumers ...

So, is there some program similar to those above which is currently working? Maybe Bracket Trader could work well?
Which API frontend do you use currently?

Thx, excuse my mean english.

It's possible with the TWS book trader, you can configure the bracket orders in the configuration option
Menu: Configuration - Trading tools - Booktrader - Hotkeys
