I have couple of questions and I am not an expert in this area. 1.) If all trading system will created in C++ is there any problem to see trendiness & patterns on charts? 2.) How will it implemented in SC? 3.) Does it need an API connection? Please do not redirect me to SC instruction links because I will not understand the technical terms. The reasons of using C++ is easy transport to another trading SW and difficulties to find a non busy ASCIL programmer too. Thank you. Ivan

1. Yes the chart drawings are accessible in ACSIL. And the chart bar data is accessible as well and you can detect patterns from that.

2. To access chart drawings in ACSIL, refer to:
Using Drawing Tools From an Advanced Custom Study

For the patterns you would have to develop your own interpretation of the chart bar data:
ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.BaseDataIn[][] / sc.BaseData[][]

3. Not sure we understand the question. For development you can just use the market data provided. No other external services are needed.
