Hello Sierra Chart,

I have an account w/TransAct Futures (My TransAct User name is: EleC).

I want from you the following:

Your customize routine or your file.exe (… or other your DLL etc… just send orders…) reads continues every xx? msec an external my file.txt (SIGnal.txt)…
This my file SIGnal.txt has data as following (or… same as …\NinjaTrader8_Folder\incoming\OIF_file.txt)
9,2,12025.50,12026.50,12027.50 (PLACE;SIM101;NQZ21-CME;BUY;2;MARKET;0;0;GTC;;;;)

When your customize routine read from file #9 (first record) send Order SELL for execution automatically direct to TransAct…
When your customize routine read from file #6 (first record) send Order BUY for execution automatically direct to TransAct…
The second record is QUANTITY.
Next record is MARKET Price and LIMIT Price and STOP Price etc… (… or only MARKET orders)…
When your customize routine read from SIGnal.txt all data and execute the Order direct to TransAct futures,
after execute this order, delete this file SIGnal.txt and waits NEW File SIGnal.txt with NEW Record… NEW Data… NEW Order etc...

Sierra Chart support auto trading system with OIF_file.txt same method with Ninja Trader 6.5/7/8 ???…USER\DOCUMENTS\NinjaTrader8\INCOMING\OIF_file.txt

We do not use the same methods as Ninja Trader for creating custom automated trading.

For how to create a custom trading study, refer to the information at the following link:
Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study

You may also want to start at the beginning of our custom study documentation, which can be found here:
Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL): Introduction

We do not create custom studies. If you want to hire someone to do this for you, then refer to the list of programmers at the following link:

For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
