I'm in the same boat as JhonR, self-taught, and have been doing this for a few months.

Definitely keep your custom studies out of the standard sierra chart ones.

I suggest making a DLL file for groups of studies that are similar so that you can have common functions that they share. For example, I have an options dedicated DLL for everything that deals with trading options.

Go to New/Open Custom Studies File under Analysis to make a new DLL

Also if you aren't already, I highly recommend using VisualStudio for development. SC supports using the VS debugger which is a huuuuuge time saver. Just open the ACS_Source folder with VS to edit your DLL.
Here's how to Set up the Debugger:
