If I open a chart that has not yet previously been downloaded for example EOD data of AAPL, then when doing

sc.ChartIsDownloadingHistoricalData

It always returns 0 even though the data is downloading and then completes downloading.

However if the data has been previously downloaded and is updating the data then

sc.ChartIsDownloadingHistoricalData will return 1 while downloading and 0 when complete.

Is that function being called from a different chart?

I have tried the function both from another chart and from the current chart as well. The result is the same. It always returns 0 if there was no previous data for the symbol. It only returns 1 when there was previous data for the symbol while downloading updated data.

We know why this happens because the chart, is not considered in a loaded state and therefore not considered usable. This particular state should be ignored though in this case.

We will work on a solution.
