Hi, I have a few custom studies which rely on grabbing data from multiple studies/charts. My code has a lot of snippets of following style: SCFloatArray otherStudyArray; sc.GetStudyArrayUsingID(otherStudy.GetStudyID(), otherStudySG.GetSubgraphIndex(), otherStudyArray); float otherStudyVal= otherStudyArray[Index]; - I wish to understand how GetStudyArrayUsingID is working at a higher level. Is it copying the source/original array into a target array or just internally providing a reference to the source/original array? (I am assuming the 1st option would be a costlier operation for large arrays) - For most cases, I am looking to fetch the latest value on the source array and If it is indeed the 1st option (A copy op), then I am toying with the idea of keeping the latest candle data of source array into a Persistent Variable too and accessing the PV from the study thus avoiding the need to copy the array. Does that sound like a good way to do it or are there other ways to do this as well? Thanks J |
