I am currently using the Spreadsheet System for Trading on specific markets such as NQ, YM, CL and GC. I can enable/disable the auto trading based on specific conditions set on J$28 (Disable Auto Trading column). This works for a one specific market. Is there a global variable where I can disable auto trading based on a overall target profit? I am currently using 4 Spreadsheet Systems for Trading: NQ, YM, GC and CL.

If you have profit/loss targets set at the Spreadsheet System for Trading and also profits/loss targets set globally (under Global Profit/Loss Management), which one takes precedence?

They both are functional at the same time.

I am not sure I understand the last response. As an example, if the profit target is $500 on the Spreadsheet System for Trading and the Profit target is $300 on the Global Profit/Loss Management) which rule will be triggered to disable auto trading? Also, I just read the original response again, and I don't think you can use the Global Profit/Loss Management feature to automatically disable auto trading. Can you suggest an approach to disable autotrading that can be controlled globally? I can control each market such as ES, NQ, CL individually using the Spreadsheet System for Trading. As an example, if my total profits is $500 or losses is -$300, if either one of these targets are met, I would like to totally disable autotrading for all markets: ES, NQ, CL.

and the Profit target is $300 on the Global Profit/Loss Management This one will occur first and can support disabling auto trading.Global Profit/Loss Management does support disabling auto trading but it also does this at the same time of locking trading but we will make that work independently in the next release so you can just disable auto trading only.

Actually we can see now, that Global Profit/Loss Management does support disabling auto trading even when at the same time not locking trading generally. The documentation has been updated. So this is currently available. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users. Try to keep your questions brief and to the point.
