sc.GetStudyArrayFromChartUsingID not working correctly?

I'm trying to use this code in order to retrieve data from a special indicator I made. void sc.GetStudyArrayFromChartUsingID(int ChartNumber, int StudyID , int SubgraphIndex, SCFloatArrayRef SubgraphArray)
So far, I haven't been able to pull anything other than price graph values. The chart I'm trying to pull from for this test, is #1. The StudyID looks to also be 1. In the Chart Studies popup, the list has one study on it, labeled: "1: Indicator. ID: 1" Am I miss-understanding the subgraph index? The indicator is in the code: SCSubgraphRef Indicator = sc.Subgraph[0];
Now, this is what I'm using, trying to grab the value from that indicator: SCFloatArray StudyReference; sc.GetStudyArrayFromChartUsingID(1, 1, 0, StudyReference); float valuE; valuE = StudyReference[0]; SCString BufferOne; BufferOne.Format("Value: %f", valuE); sc.AddMessageToLog(BufferOne, 0); This puts out to the Message Log: Chart: AUDJPY 5 Sec #1 | Study: Indicator | Value: 0.000000 | 2015-05-01 17:47:24 If I have: SCFloatArray StudyReference; sc.GetStudyArrayFromChartUsingID(1, 1, 1, StudyReference); float valuE; valuE = StudyReference[0]; SCString BufferOne; BufferOne.Format("Value: %f", valuE); sc.AddMessageToLog(BufferOne, 0); I get: Chart: AUDJPY 5 Sec #1 | Study: Indicator | Value: 94.593498 | 2015-05-01 17:48:35 How can I get my indicator value? It tends to sit right around the 1.000 to -1.000 range. |

The code you have in post #1 looks correct. We did test the function and it does work correctly. Here is an example as it is used in Sierra Chart: /*============================================================================*/ SCSFExport scsf_LargeTextDisplayForStudyFromChart(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) { SCSubgraphRef TextDisplay = sc.Subgraph[0]; SCInputRef HorizontalPosition = sc.Input[0]; SCInputRef VerticalPosition = sc.Input[1]; SCInputRef DisplayInFillSpace = sc.Input[2]; SCInputRef StudySubgraphReference = sc.Input[3]; SCInputRef DisplaySubgraphName = sc.Input[4]; SCInputRef SubgraphOffset = sc.Input[5]; if (sc.SetDefaults) { // Set the configuration and defaults sc.GraphName = "Text Display For Study from Chart"; sc.AutoLoop = 0; sc.GraphRegion = 0; TextDisplay.Name = "Text Display"; TextDisplay.LineWidth = 20; TextDisplay.DrawStyle = DRAWSTYLE_CUSTOM_TEXT; TextDisplay.PrimaryColor = RGB(0, 0, 0); //black TextDisplay.SecondaryColor = RGB(128, 255, 255); TextDisplay.SecondaryColorUsed = true; TextDisplay.DisplayNameValueInWindowsFlags = 0; HorizontalPosition.Name = "Horizontal Position From Left (1-150)"; HorizontalPosition.SetInt(20); HorizontalPosition.SetIntLimits(1,150); VerticalPosition.Name = "Vertical Position From Bottom (1-100)"; VerticalPosition.SetInt(90); VerticalPosition.SetIntLimits(1,100); DisplayInFillSpace.Name = "Display in Fill Space"; DisplayInFillSpace.SetYesNo(false); StudySubgraphReference.Name = "Study And Subgraph To Display"; StudySubgraphReference.SetChartStudySubgraphValues(1, 1, 0); DisplaySubgraphName.Name = "Display Subgraph Name"; DisplaySubgraphName.SetYesNo(false); SubgraphOffset.Name = "Subgraph Columns Back"; SubgraphOffset.SetInt(0); sc.TextInputName= "Prefix Text for Display Value"; // During development set this flag to 1, so the DLL can be modified. When development is completed, set it to 0 to improve performance. sc.FreeDLL = false; return; } // Do data processing if (sc.HideStudy)//do nothing if study is hidden return; SCFloatArray StudyReference; //sc.GetStudyArrayFromChartUsingID(StudySubgraphReference.GetChartStudySubgraphValues(), StudyReference); sc.GetStudyArrayFromChartUsingID(StudySubgraphReference.GetChartNumber(), StudySubgraphReference.GetStudyID(), StudySubgraphReference.GetSubgraphIndex(), StudyReference); s_UseTool Tool; Tool.Clear(); // Reset tool structure for our next use. Unnecessary in this case, but good practice. Tool.ChartNumber = sc.ChartNumber; Tool.DrawingType = DRAWING_TEXT; Tool.LineNumber = 79212343+ (sc.StudyGraphInstanceID); if(!DisplayInFillSpace.GetYesNo() && !sc.Input[8].GetYesNo()) Tool.BeginDateTime = HorizontalPosition.GetInt(); else Tool.BeginDateTime = -3; Tool.Region = sc.GraphRegion; Tool.BeginValue = (float)VerticalPosition.GetInt(); Tool.UseRelativeVerticalValues = true; Tool.Color = TextDisplay.PrimaryColor; Tool.FontBackColor = TextDisplay.SecondaryColor; Tool.FontBold = true; SCString ValueText; if (sc.TextInput.GetLength()>0) { ValueText+= sc.TextInput; ValueText += " "; } int ColumnsBack = SubgraphOffset.GetInt(); float StudyValue = StudyReference[StudyReference.GetArraySize() - 1 - ColumnsBack]; if (StudyValue == -FLT_MAX)//Patch for when referencing data from the Numbers Bars Calculated Values study. This value could be used. StudyValue = 0; ValueText +=sc.FormatGraphValue(StudyValue, sc.GetValueFormat()); Tool.Text = ValueText; Tool.FontSize = TextDisplay.LineWidth; Tool.AddMethod = UTAM_ADD_OR_ADJUST; Tool.ReverseTextColor = false; sc.UseTool(Tool); } Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

For anyone in the future with a similar issue, I found the error in my code. It was just a simple programming mistake. I had: SCFloatArray StudyReference;
sc.GetStudyArrayFromChartUsingID(1, 1, 0, StudyReference); float valuE; valuE = StudyReference[0]; SCString BufferOne; BufferOne.Format("Value: %f", valuE); sc.AddMessageToLog(BufferOne, 0); When I should have had: SCFloatArray StudyReference;
sc.GetStudyArrayFromChartUsingID(1, 1, 0, StudyReference); float valuE; valuE = StudyReference[sc.Index]; SCString BufferOne; BufferOne.Format("Value: %f", valuE); sc.AddMessageToLog(BufferOne, 0); Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-05-09 05:10:55
