Post From: Sierra Chart 64 Bit Version Plan

So to be clear, with version 1706 and higher , each installation of Sierra Chart contains both the 32 and 64-bit executables.

They are as follows:
SierraChart.exe
SierraChart_64.exe

Shortcuts are placed on the desktop for both of these. You can use either and switch between them anytime you want. Although when updating, as of the moment, there is not a 64-bit shortcut. We will fix that in a few hours.

In regards to custom studies, both 32-bit custom studies and 64-bit custom studies, will exist at the same time in each installation of Sierra Chart. Depending upon whether the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Sierra Chart is being used, the corresponding DLLs will be used.

The custom study DLL naming format is as follows:
[DLL name].dll (32-bit)
[DLL name]_64.dll (64-bit)

To build a 32-bit custom study DLL, just build from the 32-bit version of Sierra Chart using "Remote Build".

To build a 64-bit custom study DLL, just build from the 64-bit version of Sierra Chart using "Remote Build".

One notable change about ACSIL in the 64-bit version is that order quantities are now of a double type rather than an integer type. Internally Sierra Chart now uses a double type instead of an integer type as of version 1706 for order quantities in case fractional quantities need to be supported.
