We received this from a Sierra Chart developer:

** here has contacted me to see about customizing SC such that when he uses the chart trading features, it sends orders on a different instrument. Is that the sort of thing SC could support or maybe already supports and I'm just not thinking of it right?


The answer to this is that it is supported:
Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study: Submitting and Managing Orders for Different Symbol and/or Trade Account


A good example to do this would be the triggered limit order study. It can be found in: /ACS_Source/TradingTriggeredLimitOrderEntry.cpp

When the study is obtaining the time and sales data it should do it for the other symbol:
sc.GetTimeAndSalesForSymbol()

We are just giving you some general guidance and obviously you need to work on the specific details and make the necessary changes.
