Hello,

I am not familiar with the 3rd party API parts, but for our end, you would want to access our level one data and then, as that data comes in, do any parsing or calculations you need to on it, and then use that data to update the other app. I would assume that any app that allows for a customized symbol would have a method defined, OnSymbolUpdate or something along those lines. But, I am guessing it will be different for each charting app.

We do not have an option that would allow you, via the API, to create a symbol within our servers that would in turn, automatically update on 3rd party apps. It will all have to happen at the API/3rd party app layer.

Tim
