Hi.. Till the other day i was compiling and saving DLL files as cpp on the correct folder: ACS_Source etc. Everything was fine. Today I continue working but whenever I save the cpp file on the ACS_Source folder, it appears there but when I open Sierra Chart and go to Studies---> Custom studies it doesn't appears there. What i'm doing wrong? I tried to save the DLL with an absurd name. Try to matching the DDL file name with the coding header (something i can avoid previously, I mean I was able to save the file with different name for the file and the header and no problem). For Example, the file Renkitoprofit.cpp is on the ACS_Source folder... but when i go to custom studies, is not there. Thanks in advance! |

The DLLs must be contained within the Data Files Folder: General Settings Window: Data Files Folder (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Paths >> Files and Folder Paths) Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Obviously I am not going to contradict you. But I swear by whatever it is that I have been using several different versions of a Custom Study and they are all housed within the ASC_Source folder. That is, I've been compiling and saving the resulting DLL in that folder. I don't have anything saved in the DATA folder. In fact when I look inside the ASC_Source folder there are even Sierra Chart studies. In fact, when I go to analysis--> Build custom Studies DLL the Files to compile path is C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source\ and i can't change that from that menu. It's from default. I didn't touched anything. ยบ But well, I will try this you tell me to see. |

How to Build an Advanced Custom Study from Source Code: Step-By-Step Instructions I found the link where it says to save the .cpp file on the ASC_Source folder. Everything was working fine.. don't know why I have to change folder. From what i remember i didn't changed anything. |

Yes the CPP file does need to go into the ACS_Source folder but the generated DLL file has to go into the Data Files Folder.
