Thank you for the answer. It is a relief to hear that you will keep the Excel interface. What you suggest may be possible. My programming experience is principally VB although I have many years of trading experience. I have been reading your documentation to discover what is possible, but any guidance you can provide would be welcome. Question: I have a bespoke Excel add-in which sends orders to my broker when given triggers from within the spreadsheet. Importing data to the Excel spreadsheet enables me to run automatic strategies. Ultimately, it may be possible to replicate all the functionality within Sierra Chart, thus avoiding Excel. I am pleased to see that you have a function for moving stops to breakeven (+ offset) when a target is reached and I assume it is possible to achieve this via automated spreadsheet trading. For my strategy, I need to have multiple trades in the same direction up to a limit (which I see is possible), but, beneath the limit, once it has done one trade I need it to prevent the next trade until the breakeven target of the first trade has been reached (and its stop moved to breakeven +/- offset). ie. Each subsequent trade needs to be prevented until the previous one is "safe". Is this possible?
