Please excuse my level of knowledge, I am at the complete beginner stage. I really mean that. I want my ACSIL system to refer to the study "High Low For Time Period". I have found the ACSIL code for that study. My question: do I need to include a copy/paste of that study code in my trading system script, or can I refer to it via a Member Function (??). I note numerous studies are listed as Member Functions, but not the study I am after. ACSIL Interface Members - Functions I am trying to learn ACSIL rather than hire a developer. It is a good long terms skill. |

No. You don't have to copy/paste the code. This will give you a pretty good overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iyrt3MNkVQM |

You're welcome. I see you are also having problems with Notepad++. If you decide you want to download and use Visual Studio Community, let me know and I'll write up a step-by-step on how to create a custom study project using Visual Studio. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-11-22 04:36:09

I appreciate the offer. For now I cant even get lift off, I have no idea what I am doing, it is incredibly hard to start from zero. So I will leave my Notepad++ for now :) From the Youtube video I learned that I can use subgraphs from Studies that were manually added to the chart. This is very helpful. My next step is to find examples of how trading code uses those subgraphs. eg, I want to buy on stop at ID3.SG1 |
