Hi,
Is it possible to control existing study inputs with a Custom Study Button?
I'm a beginner in Acsil and coding in general. I'm trying to build a custom study button that enables or disables the trading system based on alert condition.
I have two systems one for buy and one for sell, so I want to have control over the system with a single click. I don't want to turn both of them off and I know yo can do that with menu item "auto trading enabled".
thank you

Assuming I understand what you're trying to accomplish, IMO, you should put both systems -- buy and sell -- in one study. Then you can configure two keyboard shortcuts, one to turn the buy on/off and the other to turn the sell on/off. That's a manual way of doing it, but you also said you wanted it based on an alert condition (?), which can be automated and accomplished with your code.

I think I did a bad job of explaining what I need.

In my chart I have a "Trading System Based On Alert Condition" study.
I want to add a button that controls it's "Enable/Disable" input.

Is there a way to do that without actually having to write the study?

Take a look at this:

Could you post the code to how you got this to work?
