If you want to trade a spread you would open a chartbook and place ES as #1 chart and NQ as #2 chart, then apply the study Difference-Line to chart #1 ONLY. Then apply Spreadsheet Study for Trading to BOTH charts and set the parameters as you would like them for both Spreadsheet Study for Trading spreadsheets, then write in the Buy Entry and Sell Entry formulas you are comfortable with in row three of BOTH spreadsheets (that is the 2 SHEETS of the spreadsheet window making one the primary (say ES) trading vehicle and one the dependant one (should be NQ). These are NOT exchange traded spreads but "legged" on spreads that get away from the huge bid/ask differentials you will find on exchange traded spreads. The following documentation in Sierra Chart will put you on your way to setting up these spreads: "Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading" subtopic "Creating a Trading System for Automated Trading" (in SierraChart documentation) shows you how to place formulas into the appropriate cells with some very good workable examples.
