Hello SC Support

The fact is SC Team got rid of an API and it looks like the good thing.

but SC is not covered the huge financial market areas as stocks and options
the proper analysis for thousands of tickers is not a visual analysis but an array/table, statistics, math one

another issue: the statistics and math analysis is not available as it should be using R/matlab and so on

the main problems for a retail trader are to connect to a data source, store the data in a proper way and send an order to a trading service - so this is the area for professional programmers / SC Team /

The suggestion is to make SC as python/pandas compatible in order to use the full advantages of a huge array manipulations with a light speed: easy, fast and open source.

I mean:

1) Add a form/interface to store rt/historical data using the HDF5 file format.
A form should allow a user to choose what tickers will be stored using a choosen data structure

AAPL DateTime Price BidVol AskVol

2) Develop a python module in order to interact a python script to SC

import sierrachart as sc

The module will parse for sc.* in terms of ACSIL or something similar to
int sc.BuyOrder (s_SCNewOrder& NewOrder)

it will be related to trading tasks only

So in this case SC will solve the complex task, imho
