Hi, I have three questions related to 'Trading Locked' mode:
1. is it possible to lock trading for one chart or one DOM only and not globally? I mean being able to independently enable/lock trading for each of my charts/DOM?
2. is it possible to somehow display on the DOM or chart that trading is locked? I think about something similar to the display of Sim/Live trading.
3. Is there a way to set Sierra to start in 'Trading Locked' mode by default?
Thanks!

One additional question:
When there is a detached chart its Trade menu contains the 'Trading Locked' menu item. Is it possible to add this to detached DOMs as well? I mean include the menu item 'Trading Locked' in their Trade menu?
Thanks!

Yes, we did notice this just now and added it.

Post #3 has been implemented a long time ago. You can find that on the Trade menu.

Sorry for taking up your time, but the only reference I see to a startup settings in the Trade menu relates to "Auto Trading". Trade Menu: Disable Auto Trading On Startup (Trade menu)

I do not employ AutoTrade.

I do not see any settings that relate to trade lock beyond the one item that allows me to manually check/uncheck Trade Lock.

Okay, what are you then looking for?

SC

Did you ever implement a study that shows on the chart if locked mode is on?

I would like to see the background color change when it is locked.

Is there an acsil function for locking trading?

Thanks

You can develop a custom study to do what you want.

And refer to this new function:
sc.SetTradingLockState()

And:
ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.TradingIsLocked
