Hi there, My automated trading system would need to access a value that is being calculated in a study function that is NOT being outputted to the chart via the sc.Subgraph[0]. Can I do that? If so, how? Or do I have to output every single value that needs to be accessed by another study function/automated trading system studies via sc.Subgraph[0]? Please help. Thank you in advance. |

For programming help, please allow 1 to 2 days. You will get a good answer. We are updating the documentation to answer your questions. That will be done late this evening. You also posted this over the weekend and then today is a Monday and we are very busy with priority technical issues. So these kinds of questions are deferred until the end of the day.

Here is the relevant updated and added documentation: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ACSIL_Members_Functions.html#WorkingWithIntermediateStudyCalculationFunctions http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ACSIL_Members_Functions.html#ArrayNotes We still need to review the questions again and review the documentation again.

Thanks for the provided documentation but I would just like to confirm this. Basically what I am trying to ask is that is there anyway that another study function/automated trading system can access a variable's value that is NOT outputted to an array or to a chart? In other words, if I do NOT output the result of a variable to sc.subgraph[x] or sc.subgraph[x].Array[x], would another study function/automated trading system be able to access that variable? Thank you in advance for your help. This time I will wait at least 2 days for your answer, hopefully I can get the answer sooner. |

We apologize. The response given in post #4 was meant for some of your other questions. We were just gathering together the information and getting it posted. In regards to post #5, this is discussed here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ACSILProgrammingConcepts.html#UsingStudyData You will want to use Persistent Variables.

Hi there, This is just to confirm if I understand this correctly. After reading the documentation, I am thinking of using sc.GetStudyArrayUsingID() to access the study and then its Subgraph[] array values but it seems that I would have to always know the actual Study ID of the pertaining study. Is that correct? What if I load up my study function/trading system on a different chart with different study ID assigned to the same study. Does that mean I have to go back to the codes to change it? Is there any way that I can dynamically get the ID of a study without knowing its ID beforehand? Thank you for your help in advance |

The way this is handled and is demonstrated in the examples is by using a Study Input to get the study ID. Refer to the documentation for ACSIL study Inputs.

Yes but I have multiple studies on a chart and some studies are built-in studies by Sierra Chart so I wouldn't need to get its subgraph[] arrays values; it's only the ones that was custom built that I would need to get the values from. How would I know the study ID that I get will EXACTLY correspond to the custom study I want? How do I check it? The documentation for ASCIL Study Inputs. Is this what you are referring to? http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ACSIL_Members_scInputs.html Thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2016-02-13 06:25:22

Hello there, I am trying to access the subgraph values from a chart using the sc.GetStudyArrayUsingID() function as instructed but it's not working. I would like to know am I supposed to use the SG value from the study setting window or the Subgraph number that I specified in my .cpp file? Because they are different. The SG value from the study setting is always starts at 1 and when I specified the Subgraph number in my .cpp file, I always started the Subgraph number at 0. Also for the sc.GetStudyExtraArrayFromChartUsingID() function, again same question, am I supposed to use the Array ID in the .cpp file? Because for the arrays, its ID doesn't even show up in the study function window. Thanks. I would appreciate if you can answer this question in less than 2 days as I am scrambling to debug my trading system as I only have 3 days left in my free trial. Once the debugging is finished, I can go live. Thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2016-02-22 04:11:06

For sc.GetStudyExtraArrayFromChartUsingID(), I KNOW to use the study ID of the array but I was asking about the Array ID of the study ID because the Array ID does NOT show anywhere in the study window. If you look at your documentation for the function, one of the parameter is the ExtraArrayIndex which is the array of the sc.Subgraph. The ONLY place that I find this ExtraArrayIndex is in the .cpp file. Is that the one I should use? Thanks |

ExtraArrayIndex is a zero-based index. Therefore, it will be the same as you use in the source code. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
