I'm about to embark on the same mission. My question goes a little further as I also want to update the target LMT order. I'm going to try a ModifyOrder call, it looks like both stop and limit prices can be on the same line. I haven't tried it yet. I have not been able to find sample code either.
Also, IB website says that bracket orders aren't available for Forex, but I tried a bracket order for Forex and it works.
