SC could you provide a link to example code or documentation as to how to add to a chart.
A form with buttons on it that can control an automated strat (ie long or short only trades, etc)

It can be done some how as a sierra charts user on Youtube video has done it.

See screen shot in regard to better understand what im asking for information on.

Thanks..I guess the company that did the chart dialog window has some kind of magic wand to make it work correctly.

It is just a matter of using the right operating system functions and proper programming. We updated this section to provide further details:

But really if you just need a few simple buttons you should use the built-in Control Bar buttons.

Thanks.
I would like to be able to select in which direction (Long,Short,Allow Reverse, etc) I want my strat to trade with just a click of a button.

Not have to dig into the study and locate the input option to change...In a fast market I need to make a decision with a quick click.
