Hello Sierra Chart Support, I have a question regarding the possibility of integrating Takion with Sierra Chart via API. I trade the US stock market and use Takion, particularly its MarketSorter. I would like to use Sierra Chart for charting while keeping Takion as my main market scanner. The workflow I would like to achieve is: I select or click a ticker in Takion MarketSorter. The selected symbol is automatically sent to Sierra Chart. Sierra Chart opens or switches to that symbol. The chart uses a preconfigured Chartbook/chart settings that I define in advance (timeframe, studies, indicators, etc.). I have already created an API in Takion and would like to know whether Sierra Chart can receive the symbol/ticker information from Takion and automatically change the active chart. Could you please let me know: Does Sierra Chart support this type of integration with Takion? Can the Takion API be used to send a ticker/symbol to Sierra Chart? Is there an existing Sierra Chart feature, API, DDE/Windows messaging mechanism, or other method that can accomplish this? If possible, could you provide instructions or documentation for setting it up? The main goal is simply to link Takion MarketSorter to Sierra Chart, so that clicking a ticker in Takion automatically loads that ticker in a Sierra Chart window with my predefined chart configuration. Thank you. |

Does Sierra Chart support this type of integration with Takion?
There is no direct integration with Takion. You would have to create a custom study to do what you want. Can the Takion API be used to send a ticker/symbol to Sierra Chart?
We do not know anything about the Takion API, so we can not answer this. Custom studies in Sierra Chart use out ACSIL interface, which ues C++. So you have the full C++ capabilities available. Is there an existing Sierra Chart feature, API, DDE/Windows messaging mechanism, or other method that can accomplish this?
See our response above. If possible, could you provide instructions or documentation for setting it up?
We do not give programming help, so we can not tell you how to do this. The documentation for ACSIL starts here: Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL): Introduction And the following is a potential list of programmers that you could use: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartStudyAndSystemProgrammers.php For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
