Under Chart and Chart settings, I can for example create a simple alert like C>10450 to alert me when price is above that level. But what if I also want another alert to go off if C<10350. So I want 2 alert conditions. Not just 1. How do I set that up? Would I use something like C>10450 OR C<10350 |

You will want to do it this way: =OR(C>10450,C<10350) Sierra Chart Support |

Hi. what is the best way to have SC internally resolve various indicators into a single true or false to signal a buy entry? Eg. If my buy trigger is LastPr> Mvg Avg(20) and Custom Study1 > custom study2 and ADX > 50 then BuySignal=TRUE. I would like to have this "true" into a study spreadsheet where my VB program can pick it up and submit orders. I've searched hi and low for examples in the user contributed dll's and can't find much. Thanks. |

This is an example: =AND(E3>AA3,AC3>AE3,AG3>50) where : AA3 is the MA(20) AC3 is the custom1 AE3 is the custom2 AG3 is the ADX |

Hi Tomgilb. so you are exporting each study value onto Excel and doing the calculation in it to resolve it to true or false. I was hoping to resolve it inside SC for efficiency since I am not using the native spreadsheet study BUT I guess I can try this for now and see if the slowness is even material. Thanks again!

The above example was intended to be put in a row 3 cell of the spreadsheet study's spreadsheet. If you put it in K3 of the Spreadsheet System for Trading study's spreadsheet, it will trigger an buy entry when TRUE.

I don't think I want the 'spreadsheet system for trading' merely the 'spreadsheet study' with all the chart data including the one you suggested (ie true /false)coming into sheet1 thru sheet7 ( if I have 7 tickers). I will then add another Excel sheet and capture the trues/false from the 7 sheets. The last sheet has say 7 tickers in column 1 and 7 t/f in column 2. I will then fire off my VB program and hunt for those true values and fire off orders accordingly. I hope there are no cell access issues when the VB program tries to read from a cell at the same time SC is updating it. Thanks tomgilb.

Have you seen this?: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_WorksheetStudyInputs.html#UseExcel Sierra has standalone spreadsheets that can be inter-referenced from the spreadsheet study's spreadsheet. Unless your VB programming is doing something unique, you can probably do what you want within SC. |

Yes I did look at that and I wish i could keep it inside Sc for efficiency but my broker (MBTrading) is not a supported trading partner so i have to use their API which is the COM model. I do have an IB account so if I move past the smaller fx contracts of MBT into the bigger IB contracts, then I probably would use the SC spreadsheets. Thanks. |
