Post From: how to identify if chart is loading or data is coming in real time

I have found variables for the following, but I have not found a variable to state if the data processing is for loading a chart or if it is real time data coming in tick by tick.
sc.IsReplayRunning
sc.DownloadingHistoricalData - from reading it looks like this is only while 'downloading' data not just reading it from my drive to initially load a chart
and there seems to be some internal 'thing' that is used when creating a trading system to stop it from taking trades while a chart is loading
sc.LatestDateTimeForLastBar - set to the starting Date-Time of the very latest chart data file record which has been read into the chart

I am looking for an event I can watch for, or variable that is set that lets me know when a chart is loading / reloading. Or if there is a variable I can check to see if it is in real time tick by tick.

Please advise and educate me.
