I see a few posts about combining symbols in particular ways, but none specifically to what I'd like to do. I'd data combined completely into one chart symbol I can trade. Like combining everything to do with NQ and MNQ. Volume, orderbook, all of it. And then trade whichever symbol I'd like on the chart.

You can write your own ACSIL, or you can use this as a starting point or use it as is.

Had the chance to look through some of the documentation. I mentioned order book. I'm mainly interested in order flow style of trading. The documentation says the Number Bars study is not available as part of the ACSIL interface. Does that mean it's impossible to combine symbols and have orders from both symbols show up in the Number Bars? Just trying to figure out what's possible before learning a new language. I'm versed in EasyLanguage but my CPP is a bit rusty.

What do you need to do with Numbers Bars in relation to ACSIL? You should be able to accomplish that.

And when you say combine symbols do you want to create a symbol that is a calculation of two symbols?

Not sure what you mean by "create a symbol." I would like both a (regular) futures contract data (like volume, delta, etc.) AND the same data for the micro futures contract to display in the same Number Bars study, e.g. NQ and MNQ.

This is not supported. You need two separate charts for those symbols.

Each one with a Numbers Bars study.
