I have a bespoke Excel add-in which sends orders to my broker when given triggers from within the spreadsheet. Importing data to the Excel spreadsheet enables me to run automatic strategies. Ultimately, it may be possible to replicate all the functionality within Sierra Chart, thus avoiding Excel. Yes, this is definitely possible and is always going to be the most reliable. Who is the broker/trading service? I am pleased to see that you have a function for moving stops to breakeven (+ offset) when a target is reached and I assume it is possible to achieve this via automated spreadsheet trading
Yes it is. For my strategy, I need to have multiple trades in the same direction up to a limit (which I see is possible), but, beneath the limit, once it has done one trade I need it to prevent the next trade until the breakeven target of the first trade has been reached (and its stop moved to breakeven +/- offset). ie. Each subsequent trade needs to be prevented until the previous one is "safe". Is this possible?
Yes this is possible but probably is tricky to do with the Spreadsheet Trading study. Certainly using the Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language would be more straightforward to do this kind of logic. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
