Post From: Trading using Macros

The problem I seem to be running into is that it will only execute the macro on whatever chart that has been clicked on to "bring it to the front" in Windows.
This is true because the translation from a keyboard shortcut to the corresponding trading message is handled by the operating system and then sent to the active Sierra Chart window.

What you would need to do is somehow activate the chart window first that you want the keyboard shortcut to go to. It is OK if it was the last active window if some other program is currently active. In which case the last active chart window should receive the keyboard shortcut if the keyboard commands are directed to the main Sierra Chart window. In this last case you should not need to do anything.
