Regarding the Trade Management By Study (TMBS)...

If I have one TMBS controlling the stop-loss, and another TMBS controlling the exit target, can both share the same ACS custom button (e.g., CS3)?

It would make sense, since the most likely use-case is the user would want to enable/disable TMBS entirely, not just one leg of it.

I don't want to "test" and find out myself, in case there's some adverse effect during live trading that sim doesn't reveal.

One more question, please: Is there a study I can use to cancel a pending order if it is not filled within 60 seconds?

Thank you for your support!

Yes this is supported. However, it is always best to test in Trade Simulation mode which you can do. Our answer is based upon how the study is designed.

The Spreadsheet System for Trading study might be able to do this.

Cell J93 has the latest timestamp of the pending order placement.
Cell J41 is the timestamp of the current chart's time.
You could compare the two.

Here's an example that you might be able to modify:
Spreadsheet Example Formulas and Usage: Cancel Unfilled Working Order n Minutes After Entry
Spreadsheet Example Formulas and Usage: Formula Equivalents of Serial Date Time Values
