Hi. I would like to create a custom index "MyIndx" composed of some calculations from IBM,GOOG and AAPL,etc and use the 1 hour chart of "MyIndex" as the filter to enter and exit trades , create and modify existing stop orders for the 3 stocks. Should I construct my auto system using spreadsheet or ACSIL method? I read some of the documentation like sc.cancelallorder,etc and it seems like it only applies to the symbol on the chart which in my scenario would not work since I can't do a sc.cancelallorder "MyVirtualIndex" . Can such an auto system even be implemented at all ie triggers on the "MYIndx" but ascil or spreadsheet commands on the components-ibm,goog,appl? Thanks.

We recommend using ACSIL for this.

You will need to have three separate auto trade studies. One on each chart for each symbol you want to trade. However, each of those can reference a common chart for order signals or that common chart data can be overlaid on each of them to get the order signals.

This is going to be the relevant documentation:
