hello, I want to set a longer update interval for a specific study to reduce CPU usage, for example for a minute. I don't want to set the update interval of whole chart because it would slow everything down obviously. I think it could be achieved by adding few codes in front of the study code... I wonder if anyone has a helpful tip for this. |

anyone has a helpful tip for this
use - SCDateTime CurrentDateTime; - pointer to last update time - compare last change time + one minute with currentdatetime - when condition is true then update study calculation |

Thank you Ackin! I was able to make a working example! here's the code : //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// SCDateTime currentdatetime = sc.GetCurrentDateTime(); SCDateTime& datetimestamp = sc.GetPersistentSCDateTime(1); bool run_code; if (!datetimestamp) run_code = true; else if ((datetimestamp + 60*SECONDS)<currentdatetime) run_code = true; else run_code = false; if (run_code == true) { //Code you want to run datetimestamp = currentdatetime; } /////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-02-09 17:43:59

if (sc.IsReplayRunning()) CurrentDateTime = sc.CurrentDateTimeForReplay; else CurrentDateTime = sc.CurrentSystemDateTime; |
