Are the S_ID value for studies only available via sc.GetStudyInternalIdentifier?
In other words, to get the S_ID of a study we would need to have a copy of the study on a chart already.

The S_ID value is not the same thing as the "StudyID" that is defined for sc.GetSTudyInternalIdentifier. The S_ID is an internal identifier for the built-in Sierra Chart studies that does not change.

For example, the "Volume Point of Control for Bars" study has a StudyID of "466".

You can view the S_ID value by adding a study to the "Studies to Graph" section of the Chart Studies window. You do not have to actually select OK or Apply in order to add the study to the chart, you can just view it there, make a note, and then add the study using sc.AddStudyToChart using that S_ID.

Thanks for the reply John.
I should've been more specific, I was meaning is there any other way via ACSIL, as we can't query the S_ID anywhere without first adding the study.
If those numbers don't change, then I will do as you suggest and for the studies I want and add the study/note the S_ID/remove the study.
