Hello,

I'm interested in giving SierraChart a shot, but have a few question first.

1. I use Interactive Brokers to place trades. Can I connect SC with IB? If so, how?

2. I trade options only. Am I able to place buy/sell Option orders on SC (when connected to IB) that routes it then to IB? And if so, is there a fee that SC takes?

3. Am I able to use an advanced trade management for Options buying and selling whereby you would see the actual stop and profit orders sitting on the chart itself, or is that only available for buying outright shares of a stock?

Many thanks!
