Is there an ACSIL method For accessing volume at price Data other than at each bar index? For instance it would be useful to be able to access VAP elements for a specified Time Period or each Day on a low time frame chart without having to pass it in from another chart.
This Way instead of using a persistent container that has to get updated on every bar, a function could be called just once on each end of Day Index to get the VAP elements for the day once per day.

This is not supported. The Volume by Price study does not even work in this way either.

It simply accesses the Volume at Price data for each of the relevant bars based upon the settings of the study.

I see. Thank you for explaining that. I think your version of the Vbp study is already amazing. it is a shame that the volume bars of the study are not accessible programmatically though. You see I have developed a function that does shape recognition on a profile, and does some other things. In doing so it was necessary to reconstruct the study minus the draw functionality. However due to a lack of skill and experience, I can't get it to run as fast as the Sierra Chart version that was already done amazingly well. Just seems like such a waste to recalculate stuff that is already done much much better, when all I really need to do is have the Shape function I made iterate over the volume bars that are already there and store the additional stats. It would be really slick to access the entire structure of the study. Although I am sure there are very good reasons why this is not possible.
