My goal is to figure out how to trade my IB account algorithmically? Is Sierra Charts an execution program? If not, could I get a recommendation? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-02-17 17:00:11

Via a spreadsheet? Seems like an outdated approach to me. No videos or even screenshots seems to confirm this. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-02-17 18:33:28

Spreadsheets are one method. The documentation explains that there is the Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language which supports automated trading through the trading functions. That is what you will want to use. Refer to: Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study No, there are no videos and there will not be. What is the purpose of a screenshot? We do not see what that would show in regards to automated trading. It is not applicable especially in the case of ACSIL. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Where do I go to see this interface? I tried to schedule a call with support and they would not. I am (perhaps have) lost all hope with Sierra Charts as a possible option for executing trades in IB.

OK now we know who you are. You are the one that started the Account Support ticket about this. We were contemplating what to do for you in this particular case. We could spend some time with you next week using remote assistance. About 30 minutes. In regards to the interface, if you wanted to use the C++ based language go through the step-by-step instructions here so you can understand how that works: Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL): Step-By-Step Instructions to Create an Advanced Custom Study Function Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

We might be getting lost in the terminology. Not sure. Anytime after 3:30pm central time works fine if we schedule it. I'm not looking to write indicators or studies. I'm looking to algorithmically trade equity options with Interactive Brokers. Attached is a visual example of what this looks like with an option trade on an AAPL option in Tradestation. Notice that the underlying AAPL stock price is in the bottom chart and the option prices are shown to the right of the top chart. The particular strategy is a day trading strategy which trades the option based on changes in the underlying, and puts the coresponding markings on the chart. I'm not at all interested if Sierra Charts can't do this. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-02-17 19:40:07

Sierra Chart can definitely do this, but the time it will take us to help you properly with this is more than we have available. We can refer you to another programmer.
