What's the correct method in Sierrachart to both intraday and swing (longer term overnight holds) trade the same symbol, while managing positions, orders, and trades independently?

I assume you have to day trade and swing trade same symbol in different accounts ?

I don't know how it can be done, i.e. if you have a long swing position, to open a short day trade position would flat all or some your long position? |

Yes, that is ok, just want to manage them separately.

So by following these instructions: Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Using Order Fill Calculated Trade Position Data for Independent Position Tracking Will it work correctly to trade live how it's described in Post #1? |
