I have a custom indicator that is calculated using alternative data that is not in the .scid or market depth data files. As such, my only solution is to have my own script collecting the data and creating the indicator. The question is how to get this indicator into Sierra Chart. I mocked up a solution in which I have a python script creating the indicator and then writing (Timestamp | Indicator) to a .csv file every minute. Then, a custom study in Sierra Chart reads the .csv file continuously and prints the indicator value to a subchart (lined up with the timestamps). This seems to work. However I haven't live tested it yet so I don't know what issues could arise over time. I searched the support board and documentation and couldn't find a "preferred" method of doing this natively in Sierra Chart, but wanted to see if I missed it and there is such a method. |
