I am looking to have a watchlist of the top 10 most liquid futures ranked by volume and dollar amount Then have the main trading account amount visible (IB Broker) if possible or input the trading capital amount eg 100k then it can continue to scale automatically in terms of contract postion size allocation Then it allocates say 10% to the top 5 list for the day via % so number 1 would get say 3% allocated and the rest less till run out of capital The calculation to how many contracts is the % amount allocated say 8k for 1 postion margin for IB broker would be 3.5k per contract so it would allocate 2 contracts for that 8k amount What is the best way to implement this in ACSIL? All advise welcome thanks!

First, providing details about how to do this is outside the scope of our support. Reading this over, Sierra Chart can do this with the necessary programming. Here is the information for ACSIL trading: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ACSILTrading.html This is one of the relevant sections: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ACSILTrading.html#SubmittingOrdersDifferentSymbolAccount It is possible for an ACSIL trading system to get the account balance.

Why do you have to be so negtive? I am asking the Support Board so other coders can comment and give there thoughts!? Creating a loyal chat board will help grow the company and user base.

Question about Speed What's the difference in Speed eg micro seconds etc ACSIL vs Spreadsheet? Because your code is C++ so I'm wondering does it execute at the same speed.

It is possible for an ACSIL trading system to get the account balance. Would like to see if that's the case. I haven't seen anything in the documentation. My approach would be to have a starting balance as input and keep track of trade results along the way to determine a possible change in exposure. Kind regards, Frederik

Why do you have to be so negtive? I am asking the Support Board so other coders can comment and give there thoughts!? We understand what you are saying that other users can help out, but we are stating our policy to you so that is clear. What's the difference in Speed eg micro seconds etc ACSIL vs Spreadsheet? We cannot give you any specific indication. That is not possible. But ACSIL will be much faster than spreadsheets. So you need to use ACSIL for performance.

Yes, definitely use ACSIL instead of spreadsheets for the maximum performance. This is definitive. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Hi Everyone, What is the simple way to code this in the ACSIL ALGO I can set a capital amount in the algo say 10k then it does maths calculation 10k divided by 5k (every 5K the algo allocate 1 contract on the ES for example) = 2 contracts The calculation being adjustable for different contracts STEP 1) Entry Signal Step 2) Capital Amount ÷ 5k (for ES) = 2 es contracts - Enters Trade Step 3) Exit Signal = Exits Trade What is the easiest way to implement this in ACSIL?
