Hi, this suggestion is great and would greatly help a lot of traders. Currently, I am forced to use excel with DDE to interface with TWS (very problematic), to get my IB account balance and market forex quotes. I then use simple formulas to calculate position size based on account percentage risk and ticks risked on every market I trade. It would be amazing if we didn't need any other external tools except Sierra. I'm no programmer but I think it is not very complicated. I am also trying to find out if I can use the J47 cell along with a quotebook to achieve my objective, not sure if that's possible.
