I absolutely LOVE Sierra Chart. I've tried to transfer to NT as i'm told there are some things i cannot do. How difficult would it be for an experienced programmer to make a new large attached side trade window with custom buttons that do things like. Buy at the close of the current bar when closed. Buy 1 tick above the close of the current bar when closed. Place a trailing stop all open orders to do XXX Move all targets + 1 tick. Show PnL on the new panel. Add my Money strategies to this window. I would also like to make an indicator that will print profit/loss above the entry bar in ticks/points..... Etc etc...... This is what i'm being told......... SC just provides little way for customization the customization is predefined. not much possibility for coding. means SC provided many properties or predefined rules and you have rooms to customize your needs. But they don't provide many API for other customizations by coding. I'm told this is easy in NT but not Sierra. Is this true? I really need these features but I really don't like NT at all compared to Sierra. Thanks |

You cannot create a new Trade Window but you can use Control Bar buttons to control a custom study. In general all of what you want to do can be accomplished. Here is the relevant documentation: Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study Advanced Custom Study Interaction With Menus, Control Bar Buttons, Pointer Events Using Drawing Tools From an Advanced Custom Study (For putting text on the chart) ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.TradeWindowConfigFileName Here is the documentation for the Control Bar: Control Bar The control bar will become your trade panel. It can be set to be floating. Use one of the available ones to be for your trade panel. SC just provides little way for customization the customization is predefined. not much possibility for coding. It depends upon what you want to do. What you want to do is very well supported and this is not true in your particular case.
