There are many details here including preparing documentation, so this takes some time.

Here is the documentation we prepared to determine how to know if a chart bar has closed:
ACSIL Programming Concepts: Determining if Last Chart Bar is Closed


When the last bar in the chart has closed, then when using this function:
sc.WriteBarAndStudyDataToFileEx()

You can specify to write the last bar to the file by setting the related structure member as follows IncludeLastBar = 1.

Remember the last used StartingIndex in a persistent variable:
sc.GetPersistentInt()

and then do not specify that same StartingIndex with the function again:
sc.WriteBarAndStudyDataToFileEx()

Unless the whole file is being rewritten when the StartingIndex = 0.

If you need more help, there are programmers on this support board who could help you and code what you need, for an extra cost of course. You can just start a new thread that says something like "need programmer".

You now have everything you need to get what you need done. It is definitely possible.

Finally, the cost for the new function is 50 USD. Did you want to add that credit or should we deduct it from usage time paid for?
