Post From: Trading from the Chart Question

Okay, so I've attempted looking over all the documentation, and based on your prior post, it sounds like you're saying take the TradingTriggeredLimitOrderEntry.cpp study and change the text in the study of GetTimeAndSales to Get TimeAndSalesForSymbol.

At the same time I would have the Trade and Current Quote Symbol in Chart Settings on the ES chart set to SPY and then apply my new study.

So, here's what I've done so far... I changed the text in the code/study, renamed the study, and then I went to Analysis - Build Advanced Custom Studies DLL - Select File, and clicked Build Custom Studies DLL. I got this message:

-- Starting build of Custom Studies Source files: TradingTriggeredLimitOrderEntryMARK.cpp. -- 19:19:54

The Visual C++ compiler is not installed. Press the 'Install Compiler' button to download and install the compiler.
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /C "C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source\VisualCCompile.Bat"

-- End of Build -- 19:19:55


I then went to Install Compiler and after downloading the software went through a lengthy installation process, after which I was given an error message that software didn't install correctly. Any ideas how I can make this go smoother? Thanks
