Clarification on 'Cancel All' Command Behavior with Multiple Strategies on the Same Symbol

I am currently operating multiple automated trading strategies across different chartbooks, all trading the same financial instrument within the same trading account. I have observed that when the "Cancel All" command is executed in one chart, it appears to cancel all working orders for that instrument and account, thereby affecting orders placed by other strategies running in separate charts or chartbooks. Could you please confirm if this is the expected behavior? Additionally, I am seeking guidance on how to manage order cancellations on a per-strategy basis to prevent the "Cancel All" command in one strategy from impacting the orders of others. Are there specific settings or best practices within Sierra Chart that facilitate isolated order management for individual strategies under the same account and instrument?

Expected behavior. From the docs: Description: Cancels all working orders for the Symbol and Trade Account of the chart that the trading study is applied to. Additionally, I am seeking guidance on how to manage order cancellations on a per-strategy basis You need to store the order numbers for each strategy and manage/cancel them yourself.

Sorry ignore me, assumed wrongly that you were using acsil trading system. I won't bs you, spreadsheets are outside of my wheelhouse, so I have no clue on that.

You cannot do this with the existing tools. Sierra Chart does not work in this way. If you want to run different strategies for the same symbol at the same time, you really need to have different trading accounts to do this. Another option would be to create a custom study using ACSIL, and then you would need to keep track of the specific orders you are dealing with in each strategy and make specific modifications to those orders.

I am impressed that not only was a solution offered by Sierra Chart Engineering, but it immediately gets added to the next release. That is excellent product support.
