I’m a newbie who has hit a dead end in documentation search. In ACSIL, I have been unable to find out to address Open, High and Low; “Last” stopped generating syntax errors when I finally wrote (dummy code): If (sc.LastTradePrice > sc.Open)… Is my usage for Last correct? How should I be addressing Open, High, and/or Low for this bar? Next, I will also need OHLC for previous bars, but have not yet tried to look that up. Help? |

Have you looking at the sample ACSIL code files located in the "ACS_Source folder"? It will help you to learn a lot. Current bar data: sc.High[sc.Index] sc.Low[sc.Index] sc.Open[sc.Index] sc.Close[sc.Index] Previous bar data: sc.High[sc.Index-1] sc.Low[sc.Index -1] sc.Open[sc.Index -1] sc.Close[sc.Index-1] |

You do not want to use sc.LastTradePrice. That is inconsistent with sc.Open[]. The best thing to do at this point, is refer to this page: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ACS_ArraysAndLooping.html Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Thanks for the EXTREMELY PROMPT answer THAT WORKS!! YAY!!! Yes, I have used the “ACS_Source” a lot – but my Search has stopped working, and scrolling by hand through 8 files gets really old and takes more time than it’s worth -- usually. Any ideas how to get “Search” back in working order? I’ve tried most option settings to no avail, and I’m sure all the boxes are completed correctly. |

Current bar data:
sc.High[sc.Index] sc.Low[sc.Index] sc.Open[sc.Index] sc.Close[sc.Index] Previous bar data: sc.High[sc.Index-1] sc.Low[sc.Index -1] sc.Open[sc.Index -1] sc.Close[sc.Index-1] Did you use sc.Autoloop = 1 or 0. Apparently this only works if you use sc.autoloop = 1. If you set sc.Autoloop = 0 which is manual looping, it does not work because manual looping does not use sc.Index according to what I have been advised by Sierra Chart Engineering. If it works, good for you. For me, when I set sc.Autoloop = 1, my program crashes the software and when I set sc.Autoloop = 0, I can't use sc.Index. Thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-06-13 06:23:39

The code in post #2 is for automatic looping.
