I have a study that will display the periodicity and the symbol on the chart. I am running into problems with the periodicity as sc.SecondsPerBar does not seem to function as expected in Daily charts (does not return NULL) and sc.DaysPerBar returns (1) in intraday periodicities (1m, 5m, etc) Therefore, the Intraday portion does not work together with the Daily portion. When separated, they work as expected. Can you create access to an element that would simply return the string of the chart periodicity? This is already available as "(RC)Period" for Chart Header fields but not accessible via ASCIL as far as I can tell. if(DisplayPeriod.GetYesNo()) { // Intraday if (sc.SecondsPerBar > 3600 && sc.SecondsPerBar < 86400) // hours Tool.Text.Format("%d Hours\n%s", sc.SecondsPerBar/3600, SymbolDisplay); else if (sc.SecondsPerBar == 3600) // one hour Tool.Text.Format("%d Hour\n%s", sc.SecondsPerBar/3600, SymbolDisplay); else if (sc.SecondsPerBar > 60 && sc.SecondsPerBar < 14400 ) // minutes Tool.Text.Format("%d Minutes\n%s", sc.SecondsPerBar/60, SymbolDisplay); else if (sc.SecondsPerBar == 60) // one minute Tool.Text.Format("%d Minute\n%s", sc.SecondsPerBar / 60, SymbolDisplay); else if (sc.SecondsPerBar < 60 ) // seconds Tool.Text.Format("%d Seconds\n%s", sc.SecondsPerBar, SymbolDisplay); // Daily else if (sc.DailyDataBarPeriod == 1) // Days Tool.Text.Format("%i Days\n%s", sc.DaysPerBar, SymbolDisplay); else if (sc.DailyDataBarPeriod == 2) // Weeks Tool.Text.Format("%i Weeks\n%s", sc.DaysPerBar, SymbolDisplay); else if (sc.DailyDataBarPeriod == 3) // Months Tool.Text.Format("%i Months\n%s", sc.DaysPerBar, SymbolDisplay); else if (sc.DailyDataBarPeriod == 4) // Quarters Tool.Text.Format("%i Quarters\n%s", sc.DaysPerBar, SymbolDisplay); else if (sc.DailyDataBarPeriod == 5) // Years Tool.Text.Format("%i Years\n%s", sc.DaysPerBar, SymbolDisplay); } else Tool.Text.Format("%s ##", SymbolDisplay ); // dont display periodicity } Thank you |

When working with these various variables to determine the timeframe of the chart bars, you need to check the chart data type first to determine which ones to use: ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.ChartDataType Use this function to get the name of the main price graph which will contain the timeframe per bar: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ACSIL_Members_Functions.html#scGetStudyName Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
