This could be a dumb question, but is it possible to call a custom study (say, an indicator) inside another custom study (the one holding strategy logic) without having to attach the indicator to the chart and use GetStudyByName() or something?

No.

A study cannot provide data to another study if it is not attached to a chart in the same chartbook.

However, you can use this function to add a study from another study: ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: sc.AddStudyToChart()

i don't see why you couldn't use win32's LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress(), persist the pointer to the desired study function and call it with a reference to the SCStudyInterface
