I am very unexperienced with ACSIL and C++ but I thought it might be helpful to provide a study I wrote for other beginners as a working example. It takes a comma delimited list of support and resistances like: 5604 (major), 5596, 5582-85 (major) and translates them into horizontal lines or extended rectangles based on if it is a range or not. It will also color and label major lines different. This list is published in a popular newsletter for ES traders that I'm sure others know of. Again, I'm not a pro at ACSIL and C++ so if anyone has any suggestions or critiques let me know! But, it took me a while to get going and I thought I'd share what a full working example looks like. https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1724974870843.png Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-08-29 23:41:25

Is there a particular reason you are using auto?

I just saw it was preferred for modern C++ when learning it and it looks less verbose than specifying all the types.

Interesting use of lambda functions! You might only need to call your code when sc.Index==0 as an optimization. (have not tried to run your src) |

You might also be interested in reading such data from a file like this solution: https://github.com/FrozenTundraTrader/sierrachart/blob/main/google_sheets_importer.cpp |
