Is there an example of using a triggered stop order type in ACSIL? I do not want to use the trading window because my entry order prices are not standard prices. Also, the price will be changing too fast to enter manually. Do I have to access the trade window programmatically, and then set the prices? Any feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Here is the code example: s_SCNewOrder NewOrder; NewOrder.OrderQuantity = 1; NewOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_MARKET; //NewOrder.Price1 = 0; NewOrder.Target1Offset = 20 * sc.TickSize; NewOrder.TimeInForce = SCT_TIF_GOOD_TILL_CANCELED; NewOrder.AttachedOrderStop1Type = SCT_ORDERTYPE_TRIGGERED_TRAILING_STOP_3_OFFSETS; NewOrder.Stop1Offset = 20 * sc.TickSize; NewOrder.AttachedOrderStop1_TriggeredTrailStopTriggerPriceOffset = 10 * sc.TickSize; NewOrder.AttachedOrderStop1_TriggeredTrailStopTrailPriceOffset = 5 * sc.TickSize; Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

So this will act as a market order? Do I have to change the sct_ordertype? I want to send a limit order only once a trigger price has been touched. Apologies if my intention isn't clear.

We apologize. We thought you were referring to Triggered Trailing Stop. That is not what you are asking about. What you are looking for is this order type: s_SCNewOrder NewOrder; NewOrder.OrderQuantity = 1; NewOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_TRIGGERED_LIMIT; NewOrder.Price1 = 0;//set this to the Limit price NewOrder.Price2 = 0;//set this to the Trigger price sc.BuyEntry(NewOrder, sc.ArraySize - 1);//This can also be SellEntry Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Its not waiting to hit the trigger price, then come up to Limit order. It is entering upon hitting the Limit order. Can you explain why, and how to fix this. Thanks

No we cannot explain why because we do not know any details at all. Here is the documentation for that Order Type: Order Types: Triggered Limit We recommend working with it in Trade Simulation Mode to understand how it works: Trade Simulation Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
