Hi. What I want to do is place an entry order an attached entry order for a different product, for a different product e.g. Long NQ futures, Short ES futures. So in this case the Short position is only transmitted after the Long position is executed. I've looked through the info on attached orders but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Is this possible please? TIA

Sierra Chart does not have a built-in method for doing what you are asking.

You could create this using the Spreadsheet System for Trading, where you would have access to the spreadsheet from the NQ chart, so you would know if that order had been put in, and therefore initiate the order for the ES. Refer to the following:
Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading

The better way to do this would be to create a custom study, so you could have complete control over this situation. Refer to the following:
Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study
