                I'm still trading with the SIM (and probably will be for some time) and I'd like to capture a ton of data every time I exit a trade.  For example, the current ATR, size of last two bars, trend and numerous other items.  After an analysis, this could help me take higher probably setups. Is there a way to use ACSIL or alerts (or any other way) to save out this data with each trade? I can get an alert to fire, no problem, but when executing an external app from the alter, the data passed in is very limited. Perhaps with ACSIL? I couldn't find any documentation on hooking into a trade exiting. ...Michael...  |

                You could use the Spreadsheet Study in combination with either the "Trading: Position Quantity" or "Trading: Total Quantity Filled" to capture the times when the trades occurred and then you can manipulate the data from there. Refer to the following: Trading Information Windows: Trade Data Studies Otherwise, a custom study would be the way to go. Refer to the following: Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study: Getting Order Information For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:  Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-02-05 16:44:41
