I have signals created externally and saved to a text file. This file includes the price entry, target profit and stop loss. Can this be feed as text file to SC to execute as a order? I mention it this way because I do the data processing externally that creates my order signals. If so, if someone can provide a link or even an example then it would be greatly appreciated!

@Machinagurujp Yes, this is definitely possible and appears relatively straightforward with ACSIL. I use a study to read in a value from a text file and display a line. You will need to modify it to do what you want but it is a place to start. Below is a discussion link and the .cpp file I use is attached. If you need to learn ACSIL, SC C++ is well documented or you can contact developers who can do it for you. I have had good interactions with the owners of www.ForgivingComputers.com and www.simplesystemtrading.com. There are many really good programmers on SC that can help for free but you have to show your effort first and they have to be willing to help. Sometimes these solutions that initially seem easy take many many hours and testing to properly resolve. Read text file discussion How to read file with sc.ReadFile()?

What was the outcome of this? I'm interested in writing buy and sell orders to a text file and then having Sierra Chart read changes to that file to execute orders. Is this a reliable way to execute an automated trade strategy via SC?
