We apologize for the delay. We were thinking about this and considered if we should put this into our documentation. So we had not gotten to it yet.

Basically this is what you need to do:

-Set up a scheduled task in Windows to start Sierra Chart. It should be started every minute. When Sierra Chart is started by the scheduled task and it is already running, another instance will not start.

-Enable Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Connect On Program Startup and Reconnect on Failure options.

- Save the chart that contains the automated trading system as part of a Chartbook. Here is the documentation for this:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_Chartbooks.html#SaveChartbook

-Add the Chartbook to automatically open through Global Settings >> General Settings >> Files to Open on Startup.

- Make sure there is no checkmark by Trade >> Disable Auto Trading on Startup.

We think we will be adding this to the documentation.
