SC support, when you make the changes you are proposing, can you please provide update examples/guidance and the SC version needed and how to change current code? It took lots of trial and error to get the below ACS Control bar code working (it is reliable but does have some performance issues). Also, the below code was documented in the other User-supported SC link (can't remember the exact link name) for coding help but the link no longer appears in the support board.

This code has 4 buttons that toggle to enable or disable an action in my autotrade study: 1) Study enable/disable, 2) Long enable/disable, 3) Short enable/disable and 4) Send enable/disable. For each instrument I trade, there are 4 buttons. Each button gets it's own unique number per chart that I set in my autotrade study.

When used, I usually set to enable all but the enabled button per instrument... then when the conditions are right, immediately toggle the button so the autotrade study takes over and enters the order based on my other preset triggers and conditions.

    sc.SetCustomStudyControlBarButtonHoverText(Input_ACSButtonNumber.GetInt(), "Trade Enable/Disable");
