I have spent more than 2 months attempting to get an auto trade system from a Sierra Spreadsheet to work properly trading the ES with zero money winning results. I appreciate the help from you all.
I am requesting that Sierra post and provide one fully functional auto trading spreadsheet that has been back tested over the last few days and shows a winning total result. This could be then used as a working model.
Please - let's see if this is real. I'm beginning to doubt it.
Thanks

The only comment on this, is how do you expect us to do something like that with certainty.


We do not write automated trading systems. It is not within the scope of our support or development. We can certainly put together basic examples but whether they will have a profit or not, is far from assured.

Sierra code examples are insufficient to prove that it is possible to have a profitable working auto trader build with the spreadsheet. These are simply coding examples.
Since their is not a single fully working model auto trading spreadsheet provided by Sierra and there does not appear to be any working auto trader from a third party, one can only assume that it is not possible to make a working auto trader using Sierra.
I challenge Sierra to step up and provide one demo working model auto trading spread sheet.
If it is even possible.

Here's the details for my challenge to Sierra about auto trading from spreadsheet.
Provide one demo example spreadsheet that trades ES;
That enters a trade (long or short) on a simple event such as a moving average cross;
That then automatically places a trailing stop;
That limits a potential loss to 5 ticks;
And allows the trade to run;
Moving the trailing stop loss to capture a minimum of 12 ticks.
Can it be done using Sierra?
Are you up to this Sierra?
