Edit Configurations Opens separate config management interface. Buttons are self-explanatory, but I will list some of the usage to help with purpose behind this:

  • Sharing configurations between Sierra instances, computers, and users.
  • Keeping backups of configurations in alternate locations to preserve work and provide historical ability to reference different config sets. 


Activate Saves and Compiles any configuration changes to both local config file and Sierra Chart Octopi Trader study for execution. You must do this any time you make changes.


Save is useful to save progress that may or may not be able to be Activated. This will save your config, even if it has errors and does not activate, allowing you to work out the errors and not lose progress before Activation.


Activity Log Open
opens Octopi action log that is designed to help you identify the exact sequence of events that took place during trade execution. This is a notepad file we keep inside of the SC directory to help with tracking and troubleshooting.
