Using the ZigZag study and a spreadsheet I can calculate and plot the Activity lines, as shown in the Wyckoff Division 1 course, chart attached. I would like to calculate the Activity in ACSIL, by using the ZigZag study and adding code to it to make a custom study, but only for the purpose of displaying the text string of the Activity reading. The formula I use to get the Activity in the spreadsheet takes 8 columns and basically is: "ZigZagNumberOfTrades/ZigZagDuration(only using minutes)/Divisor", all based on the reversal points of each ZigZag. I have added, calculate and display ZigZagNumberOfTrades, also a Divisor to a custom study, but I cannot figure out how to divide the ZigZagNumberOfTrades by the ZigZagDuration in ACSIL. If anyone can help with this, kindly respond. It would be very much appreciated. http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?l=1386618850965.png Date Time Of Last Edit: 2013-12-09 19:55:00

Problem 1) As is, Zig-Zag study does not make the data of it's text labels accessible through ACSIL. Problem 2) Through ACSIL, there is no way I know of to access an internal spreadsheet. The good news is the Zig-Zag study is located in the Studies7.cpp file! A cursory look at the code and I noticed the data associated with the "Additional Output For Spreadsheets" setting can be made available in ACSIL through existing subgraphs. The "Name" parameter of those subgraphs need to be set in the sc.defaults section and the code re-compiled. Then use the newly compiled ZZ study instead. By itself, that SHOULD get you on your way, allowing you to use "GetStudyArray**" functions through your custom WyCkoffActivity ACSIL study. You'll need to use sc.secondsperbar zigzagnumberofbars or something similar to make a minutes calculation. HTH

Problem 1) As is, Zig-Zag study does not make the data of it's text labels accessible through ACSIL. Yes it does if you set Additional Output for Spreadsheets to Yes in the study input settings. Update: As we continued to read through your posting, we can see that you know how to do this. Problem 2) Through ACSIL, there is no way I know of to access an internal spreadsheet. You can by accessing the Subgraphs of the Spreadsheet study on the chart. This will allow you to get any of the formula columns data (K-Z and more depending upon the setting of the Number of Formula Columns input). Additionally, by using the appropriate formulas in the formula columns, you are able to reference other data on the spreadsheet by having those formula column formulas reference the particular cells that you need.
