Post From: Questions on automation prospects

Hello, I'm currently in the trial period for SC, and have a few questions about automation capabilities: 1) One of my strategies involves market making on STIR futures spreads, and as such there is a relatively-high amount of data input needed as well as frequent order sending/mod/cancel requests. The functions/rules of this strategy wouldn't be done from a chart study, but would adapt to a spreadsheet interface, I suppose. Is this type of strategy something with SierraChart would actually be suited for? 2) Is there a basic IDE for writing ASCIL at the low-level instead of trying to automate from a chart or spreadsheet? 3) If I want to generate custom reports for portfolio weights & performance, as well as more advanced statistical methods for backtesting (e.g. machine learning), would such be possible using the spreadsheet, or would I need to export CSVs from SC and then go into my language of choice for generation of such reports? Thanks in advance :)
