Hi SC, I always have at least one chart that has - a single study with a multi-drawing fixed period VbP (e.g. daily) - many (typically >10 per month) individual VbP at specific start and end date-times that could be across multiple days I create these manually at the moment, but I'm wondering if there is a better way to do what I am doing. Am I missing something? This is workable because I just update it each day and most of it stays the same and lives on. The problem comes when I need to change a property/config spec for all the VbP. If I want to e.g. stop highlighting the value area, or change the colour of the POC I have to do this manually for many many studies. Three questions I would be grateful for some info on please: 1. Is there a bulk edit I could use to do this - I don't see a way available but would love to be wrong? 2. Is there a way to separate the fixed config from the location/dynamic config? A lot of this would be solved if placement on the chart or length/duration of the drawing was separate from calculation and graphics options 3. Is there a way of having studies created based on reading in options from a text file or spreadsheet? Does it already exist or could I write a custom ACSIL/spreadsheet study? I create a text file with JSON or CSV having start and end dates for each VbP, choose a Study Collection that's just a VbP with the config I want and have both this and the text file as inputs to a custom study that creates the studies. I have never coded ACSIL but I'm fine with C/C++ Sorry for the long question, but TIA. SC is great so I want to get the best out of it |

Thanks that helps. I've looked through that and it solves part of the problem. I would still need to create the VbP studies. I can either create them or duplicate them if there's one on the cart already (easy to setup). How can we access the draw VbP method, much like the tool config does? Alternatively, if there was one already on a chart is it possible in ACSIL to duplicate studies, programatically doing what button in "Studies->Duplicate" does? Thanks |
