Here's a code example for exporting the risk/reward tool to the message log. Should be relatively easy to modify it to work with the other tools especially with the use of an LLM to assist. It produces a log entry like this for each line and some summary info at the end for all the entries. 2025-09-16 14:51:08.660 | Chart: NQZ25_FUT_CME [CBV][M] 15 Sec #4 | Study: Log Risk/Reward Drawings | Reward/Risk Tool | Stop=24635.00 (6 ticks)@2025-09-16 04:45:30 | Entry=24636.50@2025-09-16 04:46:30 | Target=24644.75 (33 ticks)@2025-09-16 04:48:30 | R=+5.50 | Duration=2.0 min | Line=-395

Set the Run to Yes and apply the study. It will run once, for all the RR tools on the chart and set itself to No. If you later add more, you can just open the study properties and select yes and it will export the new data. If you want your duration to be correct, you will need to ensure that the target or the stop is actually where you closed the trade and the entry will need to be adjusted to the candle where it was executed. If you want your journal to show a losing trade, you need to make sure the stop of the RR tool is the last point (in terms of date and time on the time axis) - just move it to where you were stopped out and put the target to a point before that stop in terms of time and the log above will show a -1 R for that line and it will set the trade duration. #include "sierrachart.h"
