I want to return a value at a specific time.
You offer Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL).
There are only 4 things a method, application, function does.
1. Input Data
2. Put it in an array.
3. Run Calculation on data.
4. Return Value.

1. The input data that I am using is from another study - Check.
2. I know what SubGraph array it is in - Check
3. Don't need to run a calculation. When my inputted time of 9:30 equals the current time or backtested testing chart time of 9:30, then execute
4. Return the value. No need for a loop, or to update the value, or anything clever. Just give the value. Why can I not get this accomplished and can get no help on doing this.

How do I debug my custom study since I cannot use the C++ cout function and the scAddToMessageLog does not allow for me to insert my variable value into the message log to see what the value of the output is.
sc.AddToMessageLog ("The value is " StudyValue "." ,1)

You allow me to use studies that reference functions that do not work as advertised (Horizontal Line at Time, High/Low at Time). They ignore the stop time argument which is the whole purpose of the study. I tried to write a custom study, but cannot return a value. How do I debug my custom study? I am willing to pay for support to get answers other than pasted hyperlinks to documentation that does not work.

I would like to speak with a developer with debug access as I have already read all the documentation 3 times.
