When submitting an entry order from acsil, is there a way to specify a trade window configuration?

For example, say I create a configuration called MyConfig.twconfig
Is there a way to submit and entry order that uses MyConfig regradless of what the current trade window on the chart is set to?

Not exactly. This variable is available:

Is there a way to just do the sc.BuyEntry() and the rest would be taken from Trade Window for Chart?

Like Quantity, Attached Orders parameters, move to breakeven, steps
The usecase is possibly enrich entry strategy without big need to implement a lot and each time change these parameters in the study setting when they can be changed in trade window.
It works like that for spreadsheet study and it's cool.

For sc.BuyEntry, I need to define everything or I couldn't find an information about how to do it in the documentation.

See here, I think its what you are looking for

* ACSIL to pick up attached orders from the trade window - Automated Trading Management: SupportAttachedOrdersForTrading
* ACSIL to use quantity set in the trade window - sc.TradeWindowOrderQuantity (not sure if this one has any docs)
