Hi,

How to get the coordinates of the Chart Window using ASCIL?

Refer to the four variables starting here:
ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.ChartRegion1BottomCoordinate
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

If I want to set the position of my WinApi window to the bottom left of the ChartWindow, which one of these will work? As there four coordinates are for the Chart Region 1 only.

How to get the bottom left coordinate of Chart Window in Sierra Chart? Not Chart Region 1 in particular.

Use the WinApi, for example - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-getclientrect

That function gets the client rectangle. You would want to get the Window rectangle. Instead.:
