Hi,

I know you can use sc.datafile ACSIL function to change the chart symbol but is there a function whereby you can download the most recent historical data and/or subscribe into the live data feed? Any pointers will be appreciated.

We do not understand the purpose of the request. Historical data is downloaded and real-time data will be subscribed to all automatically. There is nothing special to do.

I have used an sc.datafile to write a ACSIL custom study. I have attached this study to a single chart and associated the chart to a watchlist. The custom study then changes the charts symbols until it cycles through each of the symbols in the watchlist; the issue is that the live data only seems to get switched on for the first chart that remains displayed. Is there an ACSIL function I can include in the custom study to download any missing historical data and subscribe into live data for each of the symbols the chart get changed to using sc.datafile? My way around this is to run the scan feature in the chart which does the same thing as my custom study with the difference being that the SC scan feature dose indeed download the missing data and subscribe into the live data; I would like to achieve the same result just through my custom study.

You just have to make sure to pause about a second between changing the symbol in the chart. You can experiment with the timing. But basically you should not need to wait more than the Chart Update Interval.
