Post From: Trade options based on stock price movement

I'm using IB and trying to autotrade options using SierraChart based on the underlying stock price movement.

For example, when my code gives a buy signal based on AAPL stock, I want that to trigger an order to buy an AAPL Call Option that I have specified.

Basically I have everything set up on the stock chart using ASCIL - custom studies, a trading system based on those studies with hardcoded stops, targets, etc - and it works great. Except that when those things get triggered, I want it to take action to buy/sell options instead of the underlying stock symbol on which those studies are applied.

Is this supported?
