Hello ASCIL experts,

I need a capability to create new bar at "will" whenever I want based on:

1) one or more custom time settings during RTH/evening session

and/or

2) programmatically whenever a condition defined in my alert condition study or spreadsheet formula is met.

The feature should universally work exactly the same way as "New Bar at Session Start=Y/N flag in Chart Settings and across any/ALL chart types. Is this possible? I don't care about filling gaps etc

I had a similar thought, but never able to figure out how to achieve it unfortunately, I assume we need to read .scid file, hope this post would help:

accessing scid files

Thanks Tony. I need the new bar creation ascil study to work with live data within the SC platform and at levels calculated via my spreadsheet formula studies which are also referenced in my buy/sell trade signal alert conditions. Everything automated with no manual interventions.

Any other suggestions? I can't be the only one needing this feature.

SC Support/Engineering - is this at all possible with custom ASCIL?

Yes I'd like the same thing. Specifically to be able to have a new bar at 9:30 for ES futures cash session begin, at 16:00 for post session begin, and 18:00 for evening begin. I can have two of the three but not all three.

Thanks for the ASCIL link Sawtooth. I am aware of the custom chart builder capability. I am looking for only the new bar "creation" logic that could be used in my study collection at any time across any or all available standard chart types in SC.... like a new bar to manually start at multiple news event for example.
