One thing that has bitten me a few times is that I forget that I need to escape the '%' character in format strings. The result is that the study compiles but as soon as the line with the format string is executed, Sierra Chart closes abruptly w/o any other message on the Message Log or anything. If you hadn't saved the chartbook, you lose the latest changes. The solution is of course to add another '%' character, like this : %% For example, note the double % in Wick Length in below snippet: SCSTring LogData; LogData.Format("RSI: %.2f, Open: %.3f, Seconds in Bar: %d, Wick Length %%: %d", _RSILastValue, DailyOpenValue, seconds, WickLengthPct); Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-01-29 16:25:47
