Dears, is there any study to have automated screenshots of the main SC window with charts or whole screen/monitor from entry/exit - that helps regarding seeing whole context also from other charts on the screen. Tried to search here and on the web and could not find anything about this matter.
Would you have any idea how to manage this?

There is not a built-in study that does the screenshots, but it can be built using ACSIL.

You might also want to check with the user Ackin, who has a lot of studies for Sierra Chart, most of which are free. He might have something that does this. Just do a search through the board for his name and then request a Direct Message with him.

Do not know how to "eat" and make a use of ACSIL, Ackin does not respond on DM. Really nobody uses context screenshots from entries/exits ..

Thank you. Of course I know this study but unfortunately it takes screenshots only from one "triggered" chart, there is a need to have a screenshot of the main SC window with its charts to view the whole context from different charts inside SC main window. Any ideas?

A study can be written that calls a command line screenshot program like minicap:

Thanks for this idea but do not have any skills to write one.
If somebody would have some complete study or complete workaround pls let us know here, thank you.
Of course we can do it from market replays but the purpose is to make it easier as it mainly depends on daily trades quantity.
