Hey, So Im a software engineer that works in Java and Javascript mostly. I don't really know C++, but thats not a huge issue. The issue Im finding with programming for Sierra Chart is lack of Tutorials or Documentation. I just don't know where to look. Could somebody here maybe guide me in this simple indicator I want to build. I want to use numbers bars, and the indicator will simply be drawing an extended line to the right of the chart, anytime that within a bar there are 3 consecutive "imbalances" on the same side. So for instance. 30x20 20x15 20x1 --------- 18x2 --------- THIS WILL BE THE EXTENDED LINE HERE (average of the 3)..........BECAUSE THERE WERE 3 BID IMBALANCES (more than 90% traded on the bid) 18x1 --------- 17x15 12x11 Can anyone point me to what methods I should be looking at to achieve this? From what I understand the numbers bars aren't accessible by ACSIL?? So how come I've seen similar indicators like this before?? There must be a way, I just cant figure it out it seems. Could somebody post some very basic code?? Thanks Kylie |

Refer here -> ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.VolumeAtPriceForBars Could somebody post some very basic code??
For example of how to access VAP data and draw extension lines look at 'scsf_VolumeAtPriceThresholdAlertV2' found in /ACS_Source/studies8.cpp |
