Hello there, I have a chart that's displaying a security X but I need to also trade the option on security X according to a certain price that cannot be displayed with a chart using ASCIL codes. How do I get the most up-to-date bid & ask price of the option using ASCIL codes in addition to the price of security X? What functions, methods or etc. do I use? I hope my question is clear. Let me know if you need clarification. Thank you. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-06-19 04:36:35

The documentation states the function to be used is sc.GetBasicSymbolData(). But from the code example stated in the documentation, it seems it is only able to get the daily price data. So if I have this study function in ASCIL codes that is loaded on a 5-min. chart let's say, it would give me the most recent price within the last 5 min.? Thanks for the prompt response.

Here is the documentation for that function: sc.GetBasicSymbolData() It will provide all of the latest data including the current Bid and Ask prices.

I already read that documentation. Would sc.GetBasicSymbolData() give intraday prices if it's loaded on an intraday chart? That's what I would like to know. Because the documentation only gives an example for daily prices and I checked the sc.GetBasicSymbolData() structure members in the scsymboldata.h file as instructed in that documentation, I only found the structure member for daily prices. Please confirm. If you don't know, can you please ask someone who does. I don't mind waiting. Thank you for your assistance. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-06-19 18:58:08

If I have the ASCIL code with sc.GetBasicSymbolData() loaded on a 5-min. chart, would the most recent price be from the last 5 min. or from yesterday? Because from the sample code from the documentation and the structure members in the scsymboldata.h file, it only gave daily prices. This is a repeat of my question from Post #3 above. And also I need the most recent bid and ask price? Would this function give those prices as well? Please confirm. If you don't know, can you please ask someone who does. I don't mind waiting. Thank you for your assistance. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-06-20 07:14:56
