You will need to use the following code. This code requires version 1406 which will be out today or tomorrow. Our other code example we gave above has been updated to this one. SCSFExport scsf_TradingScaleInExample(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)
{ //Define references to the Subgraphs and Inputs for easy reference SCSubgraphRef BuyEntrySubgraph = sc.Subgraph[0]; SCSubgraphRef BuyExitSubgraph = sc.Subgraph[1]; SCSubgraphRef SellEntrySubgraph = sc.Subgraph[2]; SCSubgraphRef SellExitSubgraph = sc.Subgraph[3]; SCInputRef Enabled = sc.Input[0]; SCInputRef TargetValue = sc.Input[1]; SCInputRef StopValue = sc.Input[2]; if (sc.SetDefaults) { // Set the study configuration and defaults. sc.GraphName = "Trading Example: Scale In"; BuyEntrySubgraph.Name = "Buy Entry"; BuyEntrySubgraph.DrawStyle = DRAWSTYLE_ARROWUP; BuyEntrySubgraph.PrimaryColor = RGB(0, 255, 0); BuyEntrySubgraph.LineWidth = 2; BuyEntrySubgraph.DrawZeros = false; BuyExitSubgraph.Name = "Buy Exit"; BuyExitSubgraph.DrawStyle = DRAWSTYLE_ARROWDOWN; BuyExitSubgraph.PrimaryColor = RGB(255, 128, 128); BuyExitSubgraph.LineWidth = 2; BuyExitSubgraph.DrawZeros = false; SellEntrySubgraph.Name = "Sell Entry"; SellEntrySubgraph.DrawStyle = DRAWSTYLE_ARROWDOWN; SellEntrySubgraph.PrimaryColor = RGB(255, 0, 0); SellEntrySubgraph.LineWidth = 2; SellEntrySubgraph.DrawZeros = false; SellExitSubgraph.Name = "Sell Exit"; SellExitSubgraph.DrawStyle = DRAWSTYLE_ARROWUP; SellExitSubgraph.PrimaryColor = RGB(128, 255, 128); SellExitSubgraph.LineWidth = 2; SellExitSubgraph.DrawZeros = false; Enabled.Name = "Enabled"; Enabled.SetYesNo(0); TargetValue.Name = "Target Offset in Ticks"; TargetValue.SetFloat(10.0f); StopValue.Name = "Stop Offset in Ticks"; StopValue.SetFloat(10.0f); sc.StudyDescription = "This study function is an example of how to use the ACSIL Trading Functions and increase the Trade Position quantity by scaling in."; sc.AutoLoop = 1; sc.GraphRegion = 0; sc.FreeDLL = 0; //Any of the following variables can also be set outside and below the sc.SetDefaults code block sc.AllowMultipleEntriesInSameDirection = true; sc.MaximumPositionAllowed = 2; sc.SupportReversals = false; // This is false by default.
