you can only have one sell order unless you divide your shares up. you can do conditional one triggers all orders and set the sell part as either a trailing stop $ and set your stop price say .06 . This will trigger a market sell if the stocks drops 6 cents at any given time. OR you could set a sell> stop limit on quote. This will enable you to select the exact price of your choosing to trigger a sell. So say you brought the stock at 1.65 and its up to 1.99 you can set a stop limit on quote sell

for say 1.94. if it drops below 1.94 it will trigger a sell order.

Hmm...what I was trying to accomplish is to combine buy and sell into a single order/transaction such that buy triggers when certain condition (limit/stop limit) is met and once buy is executed, sell conditions take over for both stop loss as well as profit above certain price - for sell order, once one condition is triggered, the other should get cancelled automatically. This is what OCO accomplishes and looks like Bracket order works in the same way.
