Post From: Subject: Request for Missing ACSIL Functions in the Latest Sierr

Hello Sierra Chart Support Team,

I am currently running Sierra Chart version 2743 on Service Package 11 (Advanced features). While I should have full access to the advanced ACSIL features, I have encountered an issue: certain functions that I need for working with Volume By Price profiles do not appear to be available in my environment. Specifically, the compiler shows errors indicating that the following functions are not recognized:

sc.GetNumStudyProfiles()
sc.GetStudyProfileInformation()
sc.GetVolumeAtPriceDataForProfile()
sc.CalculateValueAreaForGivenProfile()
My understanding is that these functions should be included in the latest ACSIL API, especially under an advanced package such as mine. However, calls to these methods generate errors like “not a member of s_sc” when compiling.

Here is a summary of what I have already tried:

Confirmed the Installed Version and Package:

Sierra Chart version: 2743
Service Package: 11 (Advanced + all features)
Checked for Duplicate or Obsolete Files:

I verified that only one installation of Sierra Chart is active.
I made sure I’m referencing the sierrachart.h file from \ACS_Source\ in the same folder that Sierra Chart uses for compiling custom studies.
Examined the Header File:

I found a declaration for s_StudyProfileInformation in sierrachart.h, but no GetNumStudyProfiles(...) / GetStudyProfileInformation(...) methods in s_sc.
Reinstalled Sierra Chart:

I downloaded the latest installer and performed a clean reinstallation to ensure the header and binary files match.
Despite these steps, calls to the above-mentioned ACSIL functions are still missing or unrecognized by the compiler, even though the s_StudyProfileInformation struct is present.

Could you please advise whether there is an additional step or configuration needed to expose these functions in my environment? I would appreciate any guidance or instructions that will allow me to retrieve and use per-profile Value Area information from a Volume By Price study in ACSIL.



Best regards,
