Are custom study dlls posted in the support board safe to use? Are there any security issues one should be concerned about?

The safest thing is always to have the source code and review it and compile the DLL yourself:

You should download libraries from verified authors to which there are references from other users.

There are many libraries and source codes here on the forum that are not harmful but are written so "great" that they slow down Sierrachart a lot. When using custom studies, I highly recommend monitoring the study calculating time. Very often you will see very high numbers in milliseconds, this is unusable for live trading ...

All libraries created before 2020-11-11(SC ver 2195) = will not work, you don't even have to try.

Here you have a solution via Spreadsheet from Tomgilb or a finished study for download from me:
