Awesome! Thanks Andrew for the quick turnaround. EOD data looks good and works well.

Thanks again Andrew. By the way, there's just one minor annoyance with using SC as a historical data source only.

Whenever I exit out of Zorro, windows gives a Zorro crash modal message. I think you mentioned this was expected. Is this something that the Zorro developers can easily fix, or is this something in your DLL?

It think it may have something to do with the dangling network connection to the SC application?

Is there a function to gracefully disconnect from SC or unload the DLL after I've received the historical data? I only use SC in the beginning of a trade/test session.

This is because the plugin was designed to operate as a Broker Plugin and not for users to dynamically reload DLL's for direct API access, so this creates side effects.

I have no plans on fixing this, because my work will go out the window once I revamp the plugin.

I see. So it is something that only you can fix inside the DLL and not something that Zorro developers can do to "clean up" some dangling this or that?

Maybe it's because my plugin is multi-threaded? Anyways, I have plans to gut out the multithreading, because it's now 100% unnecessary.

Ah yes, that's probably it.

Version 0.9.3.4. Bug fix: Zorro thread is not blocked correctly when orders are placed.
https://github.com/AndrewAMD/SierraChartZorroPlugin/raw/master/releases/0.9.3.4/SierraChart.dll

I am proud to announce that the Sierra Chart plugin has been completely overhauled and has been released!

Basically, the plugin no longer depends on Boost. The plugin is both single-threaded and asynchronous (SET_HWND is supported). GET_FUTURES is now supported for certain Sierra Chart services. All dependencies have been included in the Github repo.

Version 1.0.0.1 can be downloaded here:
https://github.com/AndrewAMD/SierraChartZorroPlugin/releases/tag/v1.0.0.1

The documentation is completely different. Read up over here:

Thanks for the overhaul! I look forward to testing it.

As you may recall, I use it strictly for historical data download/preload. How have you change things with regards to using your DLL as a replacement assetHistory() function while trading and real-time data is through another broker plugin?

Please do.
Status has changed from "it works" to "it works (and probably faster too)".

I might otherwise add a standalone brokercommand so that you don't have to manually load the DLL.
