Hello, I am trying to set-up my own automated trading with price action that I have set. I am having trouble following and applying formulas for calculations. Can anyone provide like a detailed outline of information to follow that I can find on here. Thank you, and have a blessed day. |

SC has great documentation. There's 3 options for automated trading. The simplest is using the Spreadsheet Study For Trading: Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading If you're capable of basic programming you can use SC's ACSIL: Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL) The 3rd option, which is only useful for eliminating the slight latency caused by SC's 10ms chart interval update, is creating an client to communicate with SC's DTC protocol server, is only for experienced programmers and will likely take >= 3000 lines of code with 2000 of that dedicated to encoding/decoding binary/JSON messages to/from the server: DTC Protocol |

There are 4 options, in order of complexity and difficulty: Two are native studies: - Trading System Based On Alert Condition study This uses Simple Alert syntax formulas on its Alerts tab. Trading System Based on Alert Condition - Spreadsheet System for Trading study This uses spreadsheet syntax on its spreadsheet sheet. Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading One uses the SC's Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL): This requires coding and compiling a custom program. Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL) One uses SC's DTC protocol server. This is beyond most users: DTC Protocol |
