Hello,

I have been searching for any information about ACSIL capability to get information based on the Symbol Name from the Symbol Settings database, through the documentation and on the Support Board, with no success. Is it possible to get information, for example TickSize, CurrencyValuePerTick for a symbol from the database, not only from an opened chart? Or is there any solution for that?

Thank you.

You could read the XML file directly which is in the SymbolSettings subfolder of the Sierra Chart installation folder. That file contains all of this data in an easily parsed format.

Or we can add an ACSIL function to get this information. We will see about that.

would be nice to be able to read global symbol settings (especially commissions) via ACSIL.
