I respect that people want to be able to create their own studies with AI. You will find the road is bumpy, but with perseverance and patience, you can get a lot done. As was mentioned above, whatever AI you are using it is not able to do what you are asking. It is a limitation of Sierra Chart, and you cannot code around it. You AI doesn't know that, so it makes things up that look like they would work. It is working off patterns it has seen before, not true knowledge. As a developer I find it difficult to get them to create truly complex studies. You spend a lot of time getting them to fix compiler issues. Then when it compiles it only does some things correct and hallucinates others. If you don't understand ACSIL, it is difficult to prompt it with "it doesn't work right" messages. That being said, I do use ChatGPT and Claude on occasion for problem solving: like things I haven't done before. Since ACSIL has changed over the years there are many functions that no longer work. AI continues to offer them, because they were trained on the body of works it could find going back who knows how far. When you tell AI the function doesn't exist, it happily says "You're Right!" But it won't remember that because it is reading from its "book" and users cannot change what is written in the book. I still use them as a tool to help with coding. GitHub CoPilot in Visual Studio helps with making changes as it sees what you just did and suggests new edits in grey. Hit Tab to accept them. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-03-12 19:11:48
