Hello,

Is it possible to use a "spreadsheet system for trading" to create a combo order comprised of two stocks (say SPY and QQQ), then trade such a combo as a single order? My goal is to create two-stock combos automatically using a spreadsheet, so I don't have to calculate the ratios by hand myself, then execute the newly created combo instrument as a single trade, limit order.

Thank you!

This is not possible using spreadsheets but it is possible using ACSIL:
Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study

However, this can only be done by submitting the two orders separately. ACSIL has the capability to submit orders for a symbol different than the chart the trading system study is on.

I think it could be done with the Spreadsheet System for Trading study, but only as two simultaneous orders.
