In no particular order. 1) Open a 1-trade chart via ACSIL and check for ask of bid volume at last index. ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: sc.OpenChartOrGetChartReference() 2) Use sc.GetTimeAndSales and get the last trade in the array. ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: sc.GetTimeAndSales() 3) Use sc.ReadIntradayFileRecordAtIndex and get the intraday record for the most recent trade. ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: sc.ReadIntradayFileRecordAtIndex() Either of 2 or 3 would be my choice. |

Thank you for your answer. If I use the time and sales solution, does it require the entire study to be on manual looping? Or can I leave it on autoloop, but use a loop just for timesandsales data? |
