Can ASCIL be used to display a warning/message box if a user selects an input value that would a violate a required rule? Like selected an input Yes/No option to use a stop loss, but dont enter the stop lost amount in another input field. Would like to be able to alert the user when the study recalculates a warning of a potential high risk result. |

Thanks that will get me started. Also, is it possible to remove the "C" from the open P&L format. Using the example code files, I`m able to display the open P&L on the chart. However the "C" on the end of it and I would like to remove that character. I didnt see anything in the documentation on how to do that. Perhaps I overlooked it. |

Never mind on the text format. I figured it out.. It might not be pretty, but it works.. SCString Text; SCString PLString; PositionProfitLossDisplayEnum ProfitLossDisplayFormat = (PositionProfitLossDisplayEnum)(0); sc.CreateProfitLossDisplayString(PositionData.OpenProfitLoss, PositionData.PositionQuantity, PPLD_CURRENCY_VALUE, PLString); Text.Format("Open P&L: $%s", PLString.GetChars()); Text = Text.Left(Text.GetLength() - 1); Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-09-23 00:17:38
