why Sierra will not post an auto trader working model in both the spreadsheet and ASCIL formats (that enters a position based on a simple condition with a user set profit target, and then generates a trailing stop.
There are several examples for ACSIL which demonstrate this. Refer to:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_ACSILTrading.html#ExampleCode

The function of one of these examples is: scsf_TradingExample1WithAdvancedAttachedOrders

And also doing this with Spreadsheet is simple. We already provide a simple example in text form and then you just need to add the Attached Orders to it. Nothing difficult about that.

You also need to understand, if we start putting together a highly sophisticated example, then that creates the problem where someone may struggle to understand it.

The examples that we provide are basic for a good reason. They need to be understandable. And there are several examples, demonstrating different concepts.

There are not a lot of Spreadsheet examples, but most people have little trouble working with Spreadsheets. Some programming concepts may not be easy to accomplish with spreadsheets, but that is beside the point, the general use of them is straightforward.
