Is there a cpp file which allows access to the time and sales window, or is there a study to access this data? Thanks

Access it in what way?

There are several Time and Sales studies available, but we are not sure exactly what you want to do.

We really do not know what this means.

Typically in this kind of scenario the question that needs to be answered is simply, what is it that you want to accomplish? Do not think about how to do it, just the core idea of what you want to get done.

When people jump to solutions, then you tend to lose the actual intent of what they wanted, as they get concentrated on a single solution that may not even be close to what they truly want.

You can not do this. At least not in real-time, as the Time and Sales data is the raw data from the data feed, and the rules we are under with the exchanges are such that the raw data can not be accessed directly.

In order to access the data, you would need to create a custom study which you can use to get at the data, then how you handle it from there is up to you. Refer to the following:
sc.GetTimeAndSales()

It means that you can not get the data from the original source. It has to come into Sierra Chart first, then you can get the information from there.
