Post From: How hard is custom coding for a new custom trade window for an experienced trader?

I absolutely LOVE Sierra Chart. I've tried to transfer to NT as i'm told there are some things i cannot do.

How difficult would it be for an experienced programmer to make a new large attached side trade window with custom buttons that do things like.
Buy at the close of the current bar when closed.
Buy 1 tick above the close of the current bar when closed.
Place a trailing stop all open orders to do XXX
Move all targets + 1 tick.
Show PnL on the new panel.
Add my Money strategies to this window.
I would also like to make an indicator that will print profit/loss above the entry bar in ticks/points.....
Etc etc......

This is what i'm being told.........
SC just provides little way for customization
the customization is predefined.
not much possibility for coding.
means SC provided many properties or predefined rules and you have rooms to customize your needs. But they don't provide many API for other customizations by coding.

I'm told this is easy in NT but not Sierra. Is this true?
I really need these features but I really don't like NT at all compared to Sierra.

Thanks
