Hi, I've been using the DOM window for manual trades. My position sizes and stops depend on a one-line formula based on 20p ATR + my account balance. (I risk 1% per trade adjusted for recent volatilty). Currently, I have a seperate python program that calculates the size for me, displays a GUI, and I manually enter this number into SierraCharts DOM window and save the configuration every single day. Very tedious. Is there a way to code something in Sierra to enable me to automate this process. |

Yes, but it is up to you to code it, or to find someone to do it for you. Refer to the following information on creating a custom study using ACSIL: Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

So I build a custom study, but can I set the variables in the DOM window (targets, stops, size, trail to breakeven offset) from this custom study? If so what are the variable names? |

Previous response gave 0 useful information on the variable names in the Trading DOM (or how to access them) and instead gave a link on how to write and compile custom studies.
