Hi,

Is there existing functionality or is it possible to create functionality that would allow for the loading of SCFloatArrays of the BaseData of other symbols without requiring those charts to be open?

I’m envisioning for a given Chartbook and Instrument, having some method that allows you to pass in a symbol and timeframe and returns either a SCGraphData type upon which specific arrays can be parsed or the method could provide an argument for the specific array and return that SCFloatArray.

The charts do need to be open for this reason:

However, they can be hidden:

Thanks.

This makes sense.

Can you advise on the feasibility of the following:

An ACSIL custom study is used for background processing of BaseData from k instruments.

The resulting k SCFloatArrays are populated in a spreadsheet.

I’m thinking essentially of some functionality that resembles a quote board with the exception being the columns are rendered based on the background processing from the ACSIL study.

The spreadsheet will be the main view and based on your prior response the charts not containing the ACSIL study would be hidden and only used for background processing.
