Hello, Problem Statement: I am looking to control start/stop of my algo remotely via Web Panel Solution: Via WebPanel, control the start/stop via "fake" limit orders (far away from current price) Ask: I am looking for an ASCIL study that will do the following... 1) Read the pending limit order submitted via web panel and return the following in the custom ASCIL study's subgraph a) position qty (numeric + or -) b) position price (numeric) Most of my algos use market orders so looking for just one limit order will work for me. Use Case: - I will use 1.a to control position qty in trade ticket which my algo uses for market orders - I will use + or - in order qty to control the algo to trade only long or short trades - I will use the price in 1.b to control when to start or stop algo i.e. if price=1, do nothing, if price=2, flatten all and stop trading, if price=3, close all losing trades, if price=4, close all profitable trades etc etc. p.s. I designed such a "remote control" system on MT4 (for Forex) and it was a great tool to have for mobile traders or those who have 9-5 jobs. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-09-14 19:22:48

A custom study could monitor open trades and do branching based on the price. It is an interesting workaround, as there is currently no direct interaction possible between the web panel and a custom study. Message me with your email if you are interested in a quote.

It is the simplest and elegant solution that works great. I wish there was a way to read pending limit orders via simple alerts :-( Once this basic setup is put in place, one could be very creative in defining all kinds of remote automation rules, toggle features, enable/disable strategies etc… an excellent work around for not having a mobile trading app that works with Sierra Chart or to manual monitor trades or accounts allowing SC running on a VPS do it all magically for us. I just need a simple way to read pending orders. |
