it is possible to place orders with Excel thru MT4 with a simple DLL. Wouldn't it be easy for you to build a bridge between SC and MT4 so that it could be used with the dozens of broker that offer MT4? the same way we use SC with TWS. it might not be suitable for high speed trading, but for most traders, it would do the job.

There are only two ways of connecting MT4 completely with both feeds and execution
1. Use a special EA that works like a bridge within MT4 terminal
2. Integrate Sierra Chart with an off-the-table MT4 client side API that can emulate MT4 protocols

But both solution will require the use of Sierra Chart API which the SC developers don't recommend. There are many brokers and bridge providers that support trading via various FIX and they usually accept connecting through Currenex' FIX 4.2 protocols because it's popular and outdated and everyone knows how it works

Lets say that SC open a buy stop order either manually or by a spreadsheet, is it possible to output this order to a file? that is all i would need.
