Custom studies do not work when you run SC in Safe Mode. Also make sure you run a recent version of SC. # SST Account Page FAQ ### Why do you need my SC account name for study access? The SC account name is used for automated study distribution. This is currently the only way that SC supports custom study distribution. Your SC account will be safely stored on the SST backend and not used for anything else. In general there is little risk in sharing your SC account with third party developers. A malicious party would still need to get access to your password to do anything. Even in this case the options are limited to what can be done. It is always required to use proper password and cyber security practices. Be careful what you click and download, never re-use your passwords for other services, always use a **strong** password. Read my [e-book](https://sst.frl/ebook) to know more. ### How can I activate a SST Study license key? Activation of your SST license key is done on your SST [profile page](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/login). This is a simple 4-step process. Read about it in this [blogpost](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/license/). The activation instructions can also be found in the email that contains the license key. This email was send after you completed the purchase or trial download. ### My activation does not work. What can I do? * Check the error message. In most cases the message is quite clear as to what the problem is. * Make sure to use the correct SC account name. Your SC account name can quickly be found by clicking on the Menu Help >> About inside SC as seen in the below image. ![Find your SC account name quickly](https://2811836781-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9FWCratXDWxdOMVFqMKz%2Fuploads%2FNdHdhoJcBp8KbygQPufC%2Fsc-account.png?alt=media\&token=bf234a2a-732a-4d4c-8135-2a051f7dcc94) ### I activated my license key but I cannot find the Study. What can I do? * First make sure you run a recent version of SC. Most will be using version higher than 2285, just make sure you do as well. * Also make sure to not run SC in SAFE mode. Custom studies will not be available in when using SAFE mode. SAFE mode can be checked and unchecked on the SC login window. * After license activation Sierra Chart should be restarted. Make sure that your SC account [allows for automated](https://sst.frl/checkauto) downloads (this is the default). [This link](https://sst.frl/checkauto) will bring you to your SC account page where you can see if automated downloads is enabled. You should also see SST studies that are activated for your account. * Inside SC you can check the custom study list by going to menu Analysis >> Studies >> Add Custom studies. The Add custom studies button will [show a list of study bundles](https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/UsingAdvancedCustomStudies.php). Make sure to click the - sign on any bundle that might be expanded. You should see the SST study in the list.

You can also c[ontact me through the contact form on the main website](https://www.strading.com/contact). ### I have a new SC account. How can I get access to the SST studies I previously bought? This works just like activating your license. [Login to your SST profile page](https://www.implesystemtrading.com/login), go to the "License Activation" Tab. Fill in your new SC account Name and study license key in the license activation form and click the activate license button. You will need to do this for every study that you want to access with your new SC account. ### Can I buy and activate a study license for another SC user? Yes you can. The study license key is associated with the SST user that activates the license. At activation the license will be assigned to a SC account name. The SST user can change assignment for 5 times. You can buy a study license and activate it for another SC account name. If you are looking to sell licenses to other users you might want to get in touch and discuss some [white label options.](/sst-services/white-label-sst-studies) ### How can I reset my SST password? The reset password option for the SST website is only relevant for users that use an email and password combination to login. In case you are using a social login option this section is not relevant. In case you are not logged on you can use the "Lost Password" link on the [login page](https://www.implesystemtrading.com/login). Fill out your email address and you will quickly receive a password reset link. In case you are logged in you can change the password in your profile settings tab. Click the "Generate Password" button. This will generate a random, but strong password. It is possible to type in your own password as well. Click "Update Profile" button and your new password will be saved. ### How can I remove the FreeBundle from my computer? [Login to your SST profile page](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/login), go to the "FreeBundle" Tab and click the remove button to decouple your SC account name from the FreeBundle. After this is done you can remove the SST\_FreeBundle dll file form your [SC Data Folder](https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/GeneralSettings.html#Tab_General1) on your computer. After your next SC restart the FreeBundle will no longer automatically download. ### How can I remove any other SST study from my computer? You can remove the SST study dll's from your [SC Data Folder](https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/GeneralSettings.html#Tab_General1). Once your license has expired these files will no longer automatically download. ### Can my SST profile and all my data be removed from the SST website and backend? Sure, just send me an email and I can take care of that. # Payments & Billing FAQ Some more information on the $$$ side of things ### What is gumroad and why do I get emails from them? [Gumroad.com](https://www.gumroad.com/) is a platform where creators can sell their work. This platform makes it easy for me as a software developer to sell my work to serious Sierra Chart users like yourself. Gumroad takes care of the checkout form, handles the payment processing as well as VAT tax collection, issues license keys and integrates with my SST backend. You can find out more about gumroad [here](https://customers.gumroad.com/article/191-a-guide-to-buying-on-gumroad). When you get one of my products that are listed on my [gumroad profile page](https://sstfrederik.gumroad.com/), you will receive a confirmation email with the license key and a button that brings you to the content. The content in most cases is the [free spreadsheet trading journal](/faqs/sst-website-faqs/free-stuff-faq) and a pdf with access instructions. The email is send from gumroad.com, but the sender should read like this: | **Frederik @ simplesystemtrading** <> | | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | This receipt email contains instructions to activate the license key. There is also a button to generate an invoice for the purchase you made. You can safely reply to this email as it will be directly send to me. ### Is my payment information safe? In one word. **Yes**. > *Your payment details **never** get stored anywhere when you buy on Gumroad. We don't have access to your credit card information - we just have a **token** that represents your credit card. The same goes for your PayPal details. That means if your Gumroad account, or even Gumroad itself, were compromised, nobody would gain access to your payment data.* As I said earlier I use [gumroad.com](https://www.gumroad.com/) as the platform that handles payments. Gumroad is used for payment processing and are a PCI compliant provider. You can [read more about this here.](https://customers.gumroad.com/article/189-safe-gumro) ### What is VAT? The price is different now. All prices of SST products are excluding any applicable taxes. VAT is Value Added Tax. It's a sales tax for the EU. European Union Tax laws requires VAT be applied to products sold to customers that live in the EU. Gumroad handles VAT collection and remittance to the EU. The applied % of VAT differs between countries (20% is used in The Netherlands). Depending on the EU country you live in, the price of the SST product will have VAT applied. ### I have a VAT ID. Do I have to pay VAT? If you have a VAT ID, you simply enter it into the **invoice**, which you can generate through the Gumroad receipt. The invoice received will reflect the VAT refund, the refund will hit your credit card account or PayPal account in a matter of days. Gumroad takes care of that. ### How can I get an invoice? Every email receipt has a button that says, **Generate Invoice** that, when clicked, allows customers to create an invoice. The VAT paid on the purchase is explicitly detailed on this invoice. As an SST customer you are technically buying from gumroad, that's why gumroad provides the invoice for your purchase. ### Do you offer refunds? In rare occasions I offer a refund. In most cases the no refund policy applies as for most of my work there is a free trial option which gives you ample time to test the study and know exactly what you get. There is no difference between a trail or a paid license. ### How can I cancel my subscription? There are a few options to cancel your subscription. * The easiest is through your [SST profile page](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/login). Click on the **License Activation** tab. On the list of license activations, there is a manage subscription button which will bring you to a gumroad page that allows you to change payment details, cancel or restart a subscription. * You can also click the **manage membership** button in the receipt email and proceed from there. * If you have some issues cancelling the subscription you can also reply to the receipt email and I will have a look for you. Details are also explained on [this gumroad page](https://customers.gumroad.com/article/192-how-do-i-cancel-my-subscription). ### I forgot to cancel my subscription. Can I get a refund? You are responsible for your own affairs. Cancelling can be done anytime, you will maintain access for the full paid access time. No refunds for forgetting. ### How can I pay for a custom project? There are several options to pay me for custom work. This will be part of the email communication when we discuss the details of the job. In order of preference I use [wise](https://wise.com/invite/u/frederikv120), stripe as well as paypal to receive payments. Crypto payments are also possible. ### Do you accept crypto currency? Yes. You can also pay for my work with $USDC, $SOL, $BASIS, $BTC. Contact me to discuss the details. # Services FAQ ### What Sierra Chart Services do you offer? The [About Page](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/about) on the main website is pretty clear on the services that are offered. The services section [on the left column of this page](/sst-services/custom-development) also has a few pages dedicated to the available SST services. ### Do you guarantee that I will make money when I use your tools? Seriously? No. Do your own research. The studies that are offered should be seen as tools. You are handling the tools, so you as a trader are fully responsible. ### Can I become an affiliate for your studies? For sure. You can become a affiliate for my products on gumroad and receive a **20% commission** on sales made through your own affiliate link. In case you have a few trading buddies or otherwise reach a few interested traders that buy my products you can make your money back and some. Affiliates that do not generate sales after 12 months will be removed. Hit me up [through the contact form on the main website](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/contact) to start a conversation about affiliating for my products. ### Do you offer any ready made trading systems? Not at the moment. The [SST AT study bundle](https://sst.frl/getat) does however allow you to create almost any system you want. ### Do you offer a signal service? Nope. But you can become your own trade signal provider with some of my tools. [Check this out](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/signal-service/) or [get in touch to discuss](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/contact/) the possibilities. ### Do you only code for the Sierra Chart trading platform? Yes. I like to focus and making cool Sierra Chart tools I think is the best use of my time. ### Do you offer insane discounts or run a Black Friday sale? Nope. Sales or huge discounts for no good reason are not the kind of marketing tactic you will see being used at SST. Huge discounts are a disrespect for my earliest supporters and devaluate my work in general. Value for existing customers is more important than to hook some new lead. ### Are you active on social media? Yes you can reach out on [twitter](https://www.twitter.com/sstfrederik). ### I have seen this guy on twitter and he makes a lot of money. Can you make me what he has? Go away please. Thanks. ### What is the best way to contact you? Through the [contact form on my website](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/contact/). ### What is a lifetime license? You will be able to use the custom SC study for as long as SC exists. You assigned SC account name will continue to have access. You will always be able to adjust the assigned SC account name on your SST profile page. ### Where can I find the study documentation? This documentation site and the [SST blog](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/blog) will continue to grow with some more explainer videos and documentation. The SST custom studies also have some explanation within the study documentation. You can click the study description button within SC to have a look. [This is explained in this doc article.](#where-can-i-find-the-study-documentation) ### I followed all the instructions, but I can not see the study. What can I do now? Check [this FAQ](https://docs.simplesystemtrading.com/faqs/sst-website-faqs/sst-account-page-faq#i-activated-my-license-key-but-i-cannot-find-the-study.-what-can-i-do) for the answer. ### I have a new computer. How can I get access to the SST studies again? Just start SC and give it a minute to auto download your custom studies. Your SC account is linked to the SST study access. Whenever the study file is not present SC will automatically download it. ### Can I use the SST studies on more than one computer? Yes. Your SST study access is linked to your SC account name. It doesn't matter where your computer is located. If you have a Sierra Chart account that allows to use SC on multiple IP addresses at the same time you will also be able to use the SST studies assigned to your SC account name. ### Can you convert an indicator from Tradingview? Yes, as long as you have the source code available or know exactly how calculations are performed. ### Can you convert an indicator from Tradestation? Yes, as long as you have the source code available or know exactly how calculations are performed. ### Can you convert an indicator from Thinkorswim? Yes, as long as you have the source code available or know exactly how calculations are performed. ### How much are you charging for custom work? I normally quote a $USD amount based on the project. My hourly rate currently is $100. ### Do I get the source code? For custom development work where no SST proprietary coding is used, source code delivery is possible. This is normally part of the quotation process. ### Do you work with NDA's? Sure. If you feel like you want to have me sign an NDA, just let me know. [Refer to the privacy FAQ here.](/faqs/sst-website-faqs/privacy-faq) ### Is our communication confidential? 100%. [This is explained here as well.](/faqs/sst-website-faqs/privacy-faq) ### What is dll only delivery? Custom coding work with dll only delivery means you will get a lifetime license for one SC account name to the compiled study file (the dll). You will be able to use the study for your SC account name just like a lifetime license for any of my other available custom studies. The study license can also be managed inside your SST profile page. ### What is source code delivery? Custom coding work with source code delivery means that besides the compiled study file (the dll) and lifetime usage license on this file, you will also get the source code file delivered. With the source file it is possible to make changes to the study file. Adjustments to the source code will need recompilation into a new study dll file before the changes take effect. Source code delivery is available on most custom coding work. ### Can I sell my custom study after you made it? With source code delivery you can do whatever you want. With standard dll delivery the access to the custom study is restricted. There are several options to make this available for additional users as well if that is your request. This will depend entirely of how you wish to sell your custom study. Let me know and I will walk you through the options. ### Do you offer partnerships? I am always open for partnerships. [Let me know what you have in mind](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/contact/). ### Can I sell your studies to my own group of traders or clients? For sure. There are several options available. All depending on your requirements and circumstances. * You can [white label my studies](/sst-services/white-label-sst-studies) in case you do not want SST visible in your own onboarding process. White labeling is the best way to adjust some of the available SST studies to match with your own group or business and sell them together with some educational material or trading room access. As a white label client you do business with SST and your clients do business with you and won't even know SST is involved. More on the [white label service can be found here](/sst-services/white-label-sst-studies). * Another option is to create a private study bundle and use my shop and backend to provide your group with access to a certain study bundle. We can agree on a revenue split and I take care of the study distribution and customer support. * Alternatively you can also become an affiliate for my work and promote certain studies in your trading group. ### Can you offer a real-time data service? Yes. I have some [custom work and backend available](/sst-services/connect-sierra-to-your-service) that can be used to bring outside data into Sierra Chart as well as export data from Sierra Chart into some other API. # Privacy FAQ At SST privacy is taken very seriously. Check out the [privacy policy](https://policies.simplesystemtrading.com/privacy-policy) for more detail as well. ### Is my email communication private? Yes for 100%. Your communication will not be shared with anyone else. There is no NDA needed for that. Email correspondence is going through [protonmail](https://www.protonmail.com) which is one of the most secure email providers based in Switzerland. All possible security practices are in place to prevent any email leakage. So yes your communication with SST is private. ### Can we work with an NDA? Yes. If you feel better that I sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) when discussing your proprietary trading secrets, that is totally fine with me. For public domain knowledge and information an NDA is not needed. ### What user data is stored on the SST backend? The SST website is very lightweight and very little user data is stored. Check the [privacy policy](https://policies.simplesystemtrading.com/privacy-policy) on what user data is stored. ### What user data is shared? No user data is shared, ever. ### How is user data stored? Emails and attachments are stored on the protonmail servers. Downloaded files from email are stored in [Sync](https://www.sync.com/?_sync_refer=94001c0) folders (Sync is secure storage software I use.[ Affiliate link here](https://www.sync.com/?_sync_refer=94001c0)) which are encrypted. The hardware I use has OS level encryption as well. Any backend infrastructure is secured with current cyber security practices. Passwords are strong and 2FA is used on everything. Your data, although minimally present, is well taken care of. # Sierra Chart FAQs Some SC questions I see a lot. [Get my e-book](https://sst.frl/ebook) to have a quick read and handy links for the most important parts of Sierra Chart. ### Opening older chartbooks See [SC documentation through this link](https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/Chartbooks.html#OpeningOlderChartbooks) when you are trying to open an older chartbook. ### Why do I not have the updated study version? All SST custom SC studies are automatically downloaded for as long as you are a registered user for the particular studies. After each SC restart any updated custom studies will automatically download to your computer. This mechanism also makes sure you will automatically have access to your custom studies when you install SC to a new computer or a new location. Sometimes the automated download of a custom study can fail. The most likely seen cause of this is when you use the autoloading of chartbooks after a SC restart. In case you are using a custom study inside this chartbook, the study file can not be overwritten as it is already in use by the chartbook. To prevent this, it is recommended that you restart SC without automatically loading a chart and give SC some time to finish the download. In order to not automatically load a chartbook you should not use the "Open Files on Startup" feature. You can disable this in General Settings >> General >> Open Files on Startup set to no. [See SC doc for details.](https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/GeneralSettings.html#StartupSection) Alternatively, when Sierra Chart is started, on the Login window disable the Open Files on Startup option.

Disable "Open files on startup" to make sure auto downloads of custom study files work

### How much does Sierra Chart cost? The price of the Sierra Chart software and data for Sierra Chart depends upon what Data or Trading service you will be using Sierra Chart with and what [Service Package](https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/Packages.php#Packages) you choose. Sierra Chart supports many external Data and Trading services, including Sierra Chart's own Data services. Considering all the functionality SC provides, Sierra Chart usage is very fairly priced and starts at $26/month without data and increases depending on the package you select. There is a discount based on the number of months that are purchased at once, resulting in even more competitive pricing. Details on [Sierra Chart packages can be found here](https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/Packages.php). ### Is Sierra Chart hard to learn? For some learning to work with Sierra Chart can be a challenge. Especially in the first couple of days. Just take your time and read through the documentation and click those buttons, you will know what you are doing soon enough. The SC supportboard is also useful in finding out some answers to things other users experienced problems with. My [e-book ](https://sst.frl/ebook)can also serve to get to know the most important parts of Sierra Chart quickly. The most important thing is to become confident in using your trading platform. Learn by doing. ### Can I trade Bitcoin with Sierra Chart? Sierra Chart can be used to trade on [BitMex](https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/BitMEX_Trading.php). With SC you will have [access to market data](https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/CryptocurrencyDataServices.php) from the following cryptocurrency exchanges: Binance, Bitfinex, BitMEX, Deribit. ### Can I create a trading bot with Sierra Chart? For sure Sierra Chart has automated trading capabilities. You can use some built-in Sierra Chart studies to perform some simple automation. You can also use the [SST Automated Trading study bundle](https://sst.frl/getat) to create your own trading system. ### Can I use Sierra Chart from my phone? Sierra Chart is a desktop software. You could run some kind of remote access app from your phone, but it's unlikely that will be very efficient with trading the futures markets. {% hint style="info" %} **Good to know:** You can find some more specific Sierra Chart subjects covered in the linked articles below. {% endhint %} ### Other Articles {% content-ref url="/pages/8g74vkd6bwohn9n1g6ph" %} [Sync your Clock](/faqs/sierra-chart-faqs/sync-your-clock) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/Ego3UehqGjM0hkEwIAuq" %} [What is a SubGraph?](/faqs/sierra-chart-faqs/what-is-a-subgraph) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/35sMs6LhDWj7KZ9iSFPP" %} [Where can I find documentation on a study?](/faqs/sierra-chart-faqs/where-can-i-find-documentation-on-a-study) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/N3pyh6UnRdr2WojyG67K" %} [How to add an ACS Button to a control bar?](/faqs/sierra-chart-faqs/how-to-add-an-acs-button-to-a-control-bar) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/XC1q9vyITUDZUQQ2aMkP" %} [What are simple alert conditions?](/faqs/sierra-chart-faqs/what-are-simple-alert-conditions) {% endcontent-ref %} # Sync your Clock Make 100% sure you set this up when using Sierra Chart! ### Does my PC clock need to be synchronized? Yes it does. The last thing you want as a trader is issues of any kind while trading live. You better be aware of your full risk spectrum and this technical issue is part of that. A difference between your local computer clock and any trading service you use can result in unexplainable issues when trading live. When you start Sierra Chart your message log will also show a message when your hardware clock isn't synchronized and by how many seconds. I know that SC message log says a lot of things and you are not looking at that. So do yourself and your trading account a favor. Make it a good practice to have your local time synchronized with a time server. Either at every computer restart, manually or through some scheduled task. There are several ways to go about this. You can hack your way around this and spend a full Sunday on this if you like. Or just take the simple route by [getting a little tool](https://www.timesynctool.com/). Make sure you [consider a donation](https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=N3QU63258VVML\&source=url) to the developer of this tool. It's well worth it. ### Is trading a serious business or just your hobby? My [free e-book](https://sst.frl/ebook) covers a few more risks to consider when you treat trading as a business an not a hobby. [You can get the e-book by clicking here**.**](https://sst.frl/ebook) Questions? Let me know through the [contact form on the main website](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/contact). # What is a SubGraph? An SG is true power The simple concept of a SubGraph (SG) is one of the things that makes SC so flexible and powerful as a trading platform. A (Study) SG is best described as a placeholder for a value. When you see for example a moving average study on a chart, it is nothing more than an array of values. A SG has a value in it's array for every bar on the chart. Price itself is an array with price values for every bar. A simple moving average SG is an array with SMA values for every bar on the chart. And so on. The selected draw style on the study SG determines how these values are displayed. Each individual value is captured and available as a reference by using it’s SG. With SC built-in studies you can perform basic calculations and construct alerts using any study SG. You can use simple alert conditions with basic arithmetic operators, referencing other studies and some limited built-in functions. SG's from different studies can be combined in alert conditions. Simple alert conditions provide a way to create your own monitoring tools for interesting conditions. Obviously a custom study SG can be constructed as required. Lots of flexibility for SC users. Read up on [Simple Alert conditions](/faqs/sierra-chart-faqs/what-are-simple-alert-conditions) here. #### Some SG facts: * A custom SC study can have a maximum of 60 SG's * ID0 is the main price graph * When no ID is used the SG references the chart for chart level conditions or the study for study level conditions * ID0.SG1 = Open * ID0.SG2 = High * ID0.SG3 = Low * ID0.SG4 = Close * ID0.SG22 = Renko open * ID0.SG23 = Renko Close # What are simple alert conditions? Get a handle on this and you can create your own indicators When you need some kind of alerting on a typical condition, the first step is to look into simple alert conditions. Most cases you can get a long way applying them to your use case. The Sierra Chart [documentation on simple alert conditions can be found here](https://sst.frl/sac). Simple alert conditions can serve you to define trading signals or used to get alerted by email or SMS when you the alert condition is fulfilled. Alert conditions can be placed in separate locations: ### Chart Level Alert conditions [Chart Settings Alert Tab](https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudyChartAlertsAndScanning.php#EnterAlertOnMainPriceGraph). Alert conditions placed in this area will be in effect and evaluated for the particular chart it is used on. ![Chart settings alerts tab](https://www.sierrachart.com/images/ChartSettingsAlertTab.png) ### Study Level Alert conditions It is also possible to place an alert condition inside the study settings of a particular study. This gives you more flexibility monitoring for certain conditions. The [Study Settings Alert Tab](https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudyChartAlertsAndScanning.php#EnterAlertOnStudy) is a place holder for alerts that will be in effect and evaluated on the chart the study is loaded on. ![Study settings alert conditions tab](https://www.sierrachart.com/images/ACAS_StudySettings.png) ### Alert Settings Remember to assign Alert Number actions in the **Global Setting >> General Settings >> Alerts/General 3** section. ![General Alert Settings - configure each alert reaction](https://2811836781-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9FWCratXDWxdOMVFqMKz%2Fuploads%2FmiMAznkvGHIfwzGvy8Cf%2F2022-01-22_17h23_07.png?alt=media\&token=b2a3e702-f4ee-4969-9c5c-0da44206accc) When alerts fire you can also [see them in the Alert Manager](https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/AlertsManager.html). ### CBBOAC The most powerful study to use with simple alert conditions is the **"Color Bar based on Alert Condition"**[ Study (CBBOAC)](https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudiesReference.php\&ID=245\&Name=Color_Bar_Based_on_Alert_Condition). This study can do so much more than color a bar. ![CBBOAC Study - available in SC standard study list](https://2811836781-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9FWCratXDWxdOMVFqMKz%2Fuploads%2Fu73mDeWazWzUmAyFOva4%2F2022-01-22_17h18_39.png?alt=media\&token=d9876f36-b60c-40d5-a335-dd93869f0f4a) If you want to visualize your alert condition on a chart, this is your go-to-study. I also use this study all the time to construct trigger signals or signal studies which can be used by my [SST AutoTrading Study](/sst-services/automated-trading-setups). ### Spreadsheet Formula Another simple but very useful built-in SC study is the **"Spreadsheet Formula"** Study. [This study allows you to calculate your own SG using a formula](https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudiesReference.php\&ID=402\&Name=Spreadsheet_Formula). Really useful if you want to test your own ideas. ![Spreadsheet Formula Study - available in SC standard study list](https://2811836781-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9FWCratXDWxdOMVFqMKz%2Fuploads%2FF7aqrbaVD4dPTNJMHWRr%2F2022-01-22_17h18_51.png?alt=media\&token=406c147a-704b-45b8-af71-70db394b18a8) ### Debug your alerts The [Tool Values window](https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/WindowMenu.html#ToolValuesWindow) can be used to quickly discover the chart and SG values when you hover over the chart with the crosshair and it's a great feature to debug your alert conditions. # Where can I find documentation on a study? For built-in SC studies the first place to look is on the [Technical Studies Reference on the SC website](https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/TechnicalStudiesReference.php). The easiest and fastest way to get to the correct documentation page is by clicking the study description button inside SC. The study description button also works for any custom study that you are using. It will depend on the developer of this custom study if there is any useful Study documentation made available. Clicking the Study Description button will open a browser window and display the documentation page. Check the image below for the location of the "Study Description" button. ![Study Description Button](https://2811836781-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9FWCratXDWxdOMVFqMKz%2Fuploads%2FuAeCziOovK16KkHvPlWR%2Fstudy_description.png?alt=media\&token=bcd54bf9-e808-4a1b-a4c1-25403b37cb57) # How to add an ACS Button to a control bar? Advanced Custom Study (ACS) Buttons can easily be added to your control bar. Some custom studies that are offered at SST use ACS buttons to get a trigger form user interaction (pushing a button). To use these custom studies properly you will need to add an ACS to your control bar. Let me quickly explain how this is done. ### Menu Settings In SC menu go to **Global Settings >> Customize Control Bar >> Control Bar** ![SC menu to customize control bar](https://2811836781-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9FWCratXDWxdOMVFqMKz%2Fuploads%2FUtT89M4ZV2FIT5knysYW%2F2022-01-22_17h28_24.png?alt=media\&token=ac8b3e61-79b0-4393-8e84-c58d5b883966) ### Setup window A setup window will pop-up which allows you to add certain button functionality to your control bar. ![Add an ACS button to your bar](https://2811836781-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9FWCratXDWxdOMVFqMKz%2Fuploads%2FchcoQhauZXA0HpZhUXgh%2F2022-01-22_17h33_41.png?alt=media\&token=d4b58a98-b019-4bb1-b8c8-f7c3b47f361a) ### Adding buttons Select "Advanced Custom Study Buttons" on the left side and click the desired number you wish to add to you bar. Click the "Add" button. The right-hand side of the window shows you the buttons that are currently present on your control bar. ### Reference number Each ACS button has a certain number. This reference number is used to identify the button. In most cases you will need to use that reference number in the custom study settings that require you to setup and ACS button. # Custom Development Do you have an idea for a custom SC indicator? Don't want to spend time trying to code it? Stop spending the best time of your life with frustration trying to figure things out by yourself. An experienced Sierra Chart programmer who also happens to trade is just one email away. [My About page](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/about/) describes what I offer. Custom development of SC studies is part of my offered services. However this is not for everyone. TLDR;πŸ‘‡ I work with serious folks who know what they want and have used Sierra Chart for at least three months. If you are looking for answers to your trading questions you will need to look elsewhere. There is no holy grail in trading so don't waste your time looking for it and don't waste my time asking for it. So are you in the market to get your stuff coded? [Hit me up and start a conversation.](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/contact/) # White Label SST Studies Run the best SST studies as your own Quite a few trading groups run my studies. If you see value in one or more of my custom studies to be used by your trading group or you want to sell your own coaching/trading program which includes custom study access, we can have a [talk to discuss the possibilities](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/contact/#message). ### Your brand, your clients With this White Label option the studies of your choice will be renamed, rebranded and re-bundled as required. As white label license owner you deal with Frederik and your customers will continue to do business with you. SST is not involved with any customer interaction and remains invisible for them. Minimum numbers apply and bulk discounts compared to my regular license pricing are available. ### Manage study access Access to your white label study bundle for your customers can be fully controlled on your own SST profile page. The White Label License can be purchased for lifetime access or as a recurring subscription and is valid for a preset number of customers. Smaller groups can be easily managed from your own SST Profile page. ### API for study access For larger groups or integrated requirements, it is now also possible to integrate white label study access through the API. A developer of your website can use this API to manage study access to white label studies for your users. With this you can create your own license activation page or remove users when they are no longer a member of your community. [Check the API reference](/sst-services/white-label-sst-studies/api-reference) to see which API calls are available and [let me know](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/contact/#message) if you like something added. # API Reference A simple API to manage access to a white-label study bundle This API is only available for API key holders. An API key will be shared as part of the white-label deal. This API is [documented here](https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/sstfrederik/SST_WhiteLabel/1.0.0#/) as well. ### Endpoint The exact white-label API endpoint from [api.simplesystemtrading.com](https://api.simplesystemtrading.com) will be shared with the client when an agreement is made. ### Authorization **`ApiKeyAuth` (apiKey)** An API key is needed to authorize requests. An API key will be shared as part of the white-label deal. The API key will need to be placed in the header to authenticate all the requests.

An AT system made with ACSIL (the SC custom study language) is faster than a spreadsheet based system and can have more custom functionality. I have created the [SST AT Study Bundle](https://sst.frl/getat) that will make things a bit easier for most of you. The SST AT study inside this bundle is not a small study (it uses the maximum number (128) of inputs a custom study can have) and requires some time to get to know it. ![SST Automated Trading Study bundle](https://2811836781-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9FWCratXDWxdOMVFqMKz%2Fuploads%2Fo3BE314Kr4rkSILNfOtF%2F2022-01-22_18h10_45.png?alt=media\&token=f9910875-51ee-481f-8a0c-8c2efcbf2e89) I created this custom AT study bundle based on my own Automated Trading requirements and some general requirements from work I did in creating specific trading systems for private clients. The SST AT and the other studies in the bundle are made so you can create your own system and quickly test run your trade idea. You can try it out with a free trial. The [SST AT](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/check-out-sst-at/) is mainly a DIY bundle. You can use the [SST blogs ](https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/blog/)and videos as examples to get started and try your own ideas. ### AT chartbooks / consulting / custom work In case you are stuck or do not have the time to figure things out, you can also contact me for some consulting and chartbook adjustments. This is not a free service. Follow up with me to see if you need any help or require a custom signal or support study to automate your trading edge.
