Great idea, thank you indeed!

Are you going to explore more the way based on TS? I went through your code yesterday and I couldnt find any reason to cause unreability. Everything makes sense there.

I wouldn't worry about my code. I don't think that implementation is looping through all T&S when it moves fast. Needs more work that I haven't got time to do at the moment. But SC has a built in solutions that works perfectly. Try this .cht file. Its exactly the solution I'd use.

I had the chart on a fast refresh rate but now think a slower one makes sense.

May work better by slowing it down to a 1000 ms. I haven't tried it yet but suspect that it can loop through the t&s pretty fast but takes a good few ms to initiate the call. By that time it is getting behind and another call to refresh is happening.... Maybe. Will test tomorrow

The best way is to use FileRecordIndexOfLastDataRecordInChart as mentioned earlier. I am pretty sure now. If you put Large Volume Indicator from SC to the chart you can see that it is reading scid file.

FYI, I just fixed the title of this thread, from "Time and sales coding in ASCIL" to read "Time and sales coding in ACSIL." (Switched the order of the S and C.) I kept wondering what was bugging me about the title, until I said it out loud. It's short for "Advanced Custom Study/System Interface and Language (ACSIL)," which is a dumb name, but it's what they use.

Very easy to get it wrong.

Edit: I see that it's right now in most places, but it's still "ASCIL" in the heading at the top of the page. I'll check with Mike how to fix that.
