Hello, I have a custom ACSIL study (computationaly heavy) that calculates values and writes them to an SCID file using sc.RelayTradeUpdate(). The SCID file is being created and contains data. Problem: The chart shows no bars/values. The SCID file exists with data, but I cannot get Sierra Chart to display it. What I need: A way to open/display an existing SCID file as a chart - without recalculating all the historical values again. Questions: What symbol/chart settings are required to display data from a custom SCID file? Is sc.RelayTradeUpdate() the correct function for this use case, or should I use something else? Do I need to configure the symbol as "No Data Feed" in Global Symbol Settings? The data is already computed and saved - I just need Sierra Chart to read and display it. Thank you, user396 Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-01-30 21:29:52
