Post From: Programming an indicator

Hey,

So Im a software engineer that works in Java and Javascript mostly. I don't really know C++, but thats not a huge issue.

The issue Im finding with programming for Sierra Chart is lack of Tutorials or Documentation. I just don't know where to look.
Could somebody here maybe guide me in this simple indicator I want to build.

I want to use numbers bars, and the indicator will simply be drawing an extended line to the right of the chart, anytime that within a bar there are 3 consecutive "imbalances" on the same side.

So for instance.


30x20
20x15
20x1 ---------
18x2 --------- THIS WILL BE THE EXTENDED LINE HERE (average of the 3)..........BECAUSE THERE WERE 3 BID IMBALANCES (more than 90% traded on the bid)
18x1 ---------
17x15
12x11


Can anyone point me to what methods I should be looking at to achieve this?
From what I understand the numbers bars aren't accessible by ACSIL??
So how come I've seen similar indicators like this before??

There must be a way, I just cant figure it out it seems.

Could somebody post some very basic code??

Thanks

Kylie
