I believe I found the issue.

I created a simple study just to output the sc.TickSize value.(see below)

#include "sierrachart.h"

using namespace std;

SCDLLName("ShowTickSize")


void GetTickSize(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc){
  
  //store tick size in subgraph
  
  sc.Subgraph[0][sc.Index]=sc.TickSize;
}




SCSFExport scsf_c1( SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)
{
  //Inputs
  

  if (sc.SetDefaults){
  //set graph defaults
  
  sc.GraphName= "ShowTickSize";
  
  
  //Reference Study
  sc.Subgraph[0].Name="Tick Size";
  sc.Subgraph[0].DrawStyle=DRAWSTYLE_LINE;
  sc.Subgraph[0].PrimaryColor = RGB(8, 25, 128);
  sc.Subgraph[0].LineWidth = 4;
  sc.Subgraph[0].DrawZeros = false;
  sc.Subgraph[0].DisplayNameValueInDataLine=true;
  
  
  
  }
  //display entries and exits on main graph instead of subgraph
  sc.GraphRegion=1;
  
  GetTickSize(sc);
  

  return;
};


When running this study as in my primary study, I noticed that sc.TickSize is 0 sometimes and sometimes it returns the actual ticksize.

I checked the message logs and received an error stating that there was a CPU exception and the study made the platform unstable until removing it and restarting the platform.

I believe this explains why sc.TickSize was 0 in the prior posts.

I've attached examples of running this simple study via a scan which shows sometimes the return value is correct and sometimes it is 0.

Ideally, removing the study and restarting the platform should correct this per the message logs.
