Helo, I want to build a relatively simple indicator similar to Power Trades on Qunatower or Sweeps on Bookmap. It detects when X bid or ask volume traded within Y time. For this I need historical time and sales records. sc.ReadIntradayFileRecordForBarIndexAndSubIndex is perfect for it but sierra states "It should be used only on the current day as needed." So I want to know if it is possible to load 3-6 month of tick data using sc.ReadIntradayFileRecordForBarIndexAndSubIndex(), or if there are other ways to get up to 6 month of Time and Sales records per bar.

Use a 1-tick/1-trade chart. Will be slow loading so much data which seems like a lot to vet your idea.

Thank you for the reply, actually using the 1 trade chart makes the programing easier for me. But there is an issue with it, I made the indicator specifically for the 1 trade chart, and I thought I would overlay the drawings or subgrapghs to my candlestick chart using the Study/Price Overlay study. But it is not possible for some reason. Any ideas ?
