The documentation for sc.GetNumPriceLevelsForStudyProfile() (ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: sc.GetNumPriceLevelsForStudyProfile()) says:

ProfileIndex: The zero-based index of the volume profile relative to the end of the chart. 0 equals the latest profile in the chart at the end or rightmost side. This needs to always be set to a positive number.

However the documentation for sc.GetStudyPeakValleyLine() (ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: sc.GetStudyPeakValleyLine()) says:

ProfileIndex specifies the zero-based index of the profile to obtain the Peak or Valley line from. Effective with version 1843, this can be a negative number. In this case -1 will reference the last profile in the chart. -2 references the second to last profile in the chart and so on.

So Always Positive in one case and negative in the other? It appears sc.GetNumPriceLevelsForStudyProfile() works with negatives.

The documentation is correct. The implementation does match the documentation.
