I am not sure how you are defining "problems", however, as stated above, the Spreadsheet System for Trading study is pretty robust. I have previously used it for execution, position sizing/risk, trade management, etc. It was fully automated to do all of that.
There is a ton of great information on the below site to give you a taste of what the spreadsheets are capable of.
I not positive but I think that the site's owner is the same Tom that post on this board as well as Sierra's support board. If it is the same person, Tom is awesome, extremely helpful, and a wealth of knowledge.
Anyone have experience accessing historical market depth data via ACSIL? I've got a ton of .depth files and can of course load them into a Chart window then do a replay/backtest, but would like to export that data (with the order book (re)constructed true-to-form) for experimentation in Python. Doesn't seem that DTC Protocol is readily set up to access historical depth.
if you want lo learn Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL).You could start here:
It does not allow me to post the link.sorry.Go to sierrachart.com and look for

I can teach a class over Zoom this Thursday or Friday. I'd recommend at or after 4P EDT. Ya'll pick pick the time.
Let's time box the initial class to one hour. We'll have a second in a week if needed.
For our example we'll set up the environment, write a program based on a state machine, compile the program and perform simple back tests. I'll post the code here after the class.
Street Cred: Comp Sci undergrad, c++ developer 40 years, MBA Finance, teach programming at a local college.
As long as you aren't a vendor, have nothing for sale, then I would invite you to come on and do a webinar covering Sierra programming. Plenty of Sierra users would benefit, most people watch recordings and can benefit for years to come.
@tturner86 can schedule.
