I’m currently running several trading strategies via Spreadsheet for Trading. I would like to transition to ACSIL but prefer not to rewrite the entire strategy logic again from scratch. Is it possible in ACSIL to directly retrieve or reference trading signals (including signal triggers, entry prices, target/stop prices, trailing stops, and trend closure signals) from an existing spreadsheet study? Since I have all these details structured clearly in spreadsheets already, this would significantly streamline the transition process. Any guidance on how this might be implemented, or pointers toward relevant examples/documentation, would be greatly appreciated. |

You can read spreadsheet cells from a spreadsheet study. First you set up the spreadsheet connection with sc.GetSpreadsheetSheetHandleByName
and then get individual cell values with sc.GetSheetCellAsDouble
and sc.GetSheetCellAsString
There is an example in your ACS_Source folder. Search the contents of the cpp files with this: scsf_SpreadsheetInteractionExample
