Hi, I noticed if my .cpp file ending with underscore+number, then the underscore+number part will be missed in 'Add Study' window. i.e. after build My_Study_1234.cpp, I will get My_Study_1234.dll inside C:\SierraChart\Data folder, but in Add Study window, it shows the file name is (My_Study.dll v2308) not My_Study_1234.dll Also, if a study name has "&" character, i.e. if (sc.SetDefaults) { sc.GraphName = "My_Study_S&P"; } The correct name would be shown in 'Chart Studies' window, but when I right-click inside chart window and go 'Study Settings', the name would shown as My_Study_SP, '&' is missing and P is underscored.

Those are special situations. So they should be avoided. You should always avoid special characters in names, just due to the possibility of the Operating System interpreting them incorrectly. Refer to the following regarding filenames: Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL): Custom Study DLL File Name Format For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
