I'd like to confirm that the information here:

Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study: Submitting and Managing Orders for Different Symbol and/or Trade Account

does not apply when the "Trade Symbol" has been set in "Chart Settings?"

Many thanks!!

When you change the Chart Settings -> Trade Symbol it also changes sc.TradeAndCurrentQuoteSymbol.

Conversely, when you change sc.TradeAndCurrentQuoteSymbol it also changes the Chart Settings->Trade Symbol.

When you place an order, by default it will use the Trade Symbol that you modified using either of those two methods. However, you can also place an order that uses a completely different Trade Symbol from the one you had set previously when you call sc.BuyOrder()/sc.SellOrder() by modifying the s_SCNewOrder::Symbol variable for the s_SCNewOrder structure that is passed to the sc.BuyOrder()/sc.SellOrder functions.

Does that all answer the question?
