Hi there,

I can not enable the trading Scale In/Out option from the "Attached trade window to chart" M - menu button. Any help would be appreciated.

We need to understand exactly where the issue is. If you select the M on the Trade Window, do you then see the menu that comes up? On that menu you should see a sub-menu for Orders. Go to that sub-menu and select that item to open the sub-menu, then you should see the options for Scale In and Scale Out. Selecting either one will place or remove a checkmark next to it denoted that the item is enabled (checkmark) or not (no checkmark).

Let us know where in the process you are having an issue.

Yes, I am doing all of your explained steps but unfortunately, the system does not accept my checking action.

There is no reason that this should occur. Please exit from Sierra Chart and restart and see if you continue to have the same problem.

ı have already exited and restarted many times, but It did not fix the problem.

Make sure you are not changing the "Trade Configuration" after you select "Scale In" or "Scale Out". The Trade Configuration adjusts those items as well, so if you selected Scale In/Out and then change the configuration to one that does not have them enabled, then the options would be unchecked again.

But, please just do the following:
- Select M >> Orders >> Scale In, which should NOT have a checkmark next to it when you go to that menu.
- Then immediately select M >> Orders and verify that there is a checkmark next to the Scale In option.

Let us know if this is not working.

Yes, I did it exactly as you said; it is not working. Do you want to log on remotely into my system to see and check the problem?

Customer had a custom study that was causing a conflict with the Support Scale In/Out, where the custom study must be setting the options to false.

Customer will call the maker of the study and have them correct this.

Hi John, I'm the developer of this Indicator.

Here are the settings we use for the indicator:


    sc.AllowMultipleEntriesInSameDirection = true;
    sc.SupportReversals = true;
    sc.AllowOppositeEntryWithOpposingPositionOrOrders = true;
    sc.CancelAllOrdersOnEntriesAndReversals = false;
    sc.AllowEntryWithWorkingOrders = true;
    sc.CancelAllWorkingOrdersOnExit = true;
    sc.AllowOnlyOneTradePerBar = false;
    //This needs to be set to true when a trading study uses trading functions.
    sc.MaintainTradeStatisticsAndTradesData = true;
    sc.AutoLoop = true;
    sc.HideStudy = 1;

I have shared a file with all of these settings commented and a file with the above setting - both did not work for the customer (User152129).

Can you please let us know what settings are your referring to when you say Support Scale In/Out?

Thank you!

Do you set the the variable below and the one after it in your code anywhere?
ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.SupportTradingScaleIn

No, I don't.

I can direct message you the entire code. It's less than 100 lines.

Is the problem solved, when the study is removed or when Sierra Chart is run in Safe Mode?:

These lines of code need to be removed from the custom study:
  sc.SupportTradingScaleIn = 0;
  sc.SupportTradingScaleOut = 0;

Can't believe I missed that!
I kept looking at the code inside the loop thinking the network requests interfered with the execution somehow.
John already suggested this and we overlooked it - Sorry about that!
Thank you for the support!

We have shared with the customer the updated DLL.
