Hi-Does the new release support new functions to ACSIL to support trading a symbol different than the symbol of the chart? If not please let me know the release date. Thx again

No, not yet. This capability should be out next week.


- How do I set the symbol on SCNewOrder as I do not see a place to set this. Or does this get set by J40 everytime inside of BuyEntry.
This is not currently supported and never in any case would a spreadsheet control this.

- How do I pull an option price since I want to set quantity of contracts to buy? Or can I set somewhere that I want to buy 1k of options?
The quantity is set through SCNewOrder. If you have set the Trade and Current Quote Symbol on the chart to the option symbol, then the current price can be obtained with sc.LastTradePrice.

- When buying a Put or Call option do I use BuyEntry() for either case? Or do I use SellEntry for puts.
What does common sense tell you about this? Please use common sense because there is not going to be anything illogical about this in Sierra Chart. A buy means buy and a sell means sell.

2. No. An option is just like any other symbol.

3. This is not clear for us, but the ACSIL Automated Trading and Automated Trade Management documentation applies. There is nothing unusual.
