Is it possible to configure an automated trading system in such a way that only the entry is executed automatically and the trade management can be done manually.
In this case the system must be aware of the exit so that it can generate a new entry after the exiz is done.

Is it possible to configure an automated trading system in such a way that only the entry/exit arrows are shown but no execution is done.

I'm not talking about simulation mode because I want the orders to be executed via my broker.

Yes of course. This is explained in the case of the Spreadsheet System for Trading study:
Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading: Initiating Trades with Auto-Trading and Using Manual or Attached Orders Exits

The same concept also applies for ACSIL trading in the same way.

In this case you just make sure the trading system is not sending orders to the trade service. This is all. Refer to:
Automated Trading Management: SendOrdersToTradeService

However, this will require you use Trade Simulation Mode, so you probably will want to run the automated trading system in a separate instance using Trade Simulation Mode so that the main instance of Sierra Chart can be used for Live manual trading. Refer to:
