Hi-

Been a NinjaTrader user for sometime now and want migrate to Sierra Chart. Im want to use Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language using SCT_ORDERTYPE_TRIGGERED_TRAILING_STOP_3_OFFSETS 12.50% (Stop Offset), 5.00% (Trigger Offset), 1.00% (Trail Offset).

I have a question specifically on how that order type would function using option contracts. Would the % offset be tied into the bid or ask?

Percentages for the order type SCT_ORDERTYPE_TRIGGERED_TRAILING_STOP_3_OFFSETS are not supported in ACSIL. You will be working with actual prices or price offsets relative to the parent order price. Not percentages.

Almost all of the order types support Attached Orders. What you are referring to is Attached Orders and this s_SCNewOrder member sets the offset for the Target Attached Order:
