To whom it may concern, Do you know of any method for determining a calculation precedence tree (or something similar) to verify all the studies are in correct order so that pressing "re-calculate" button won't change the results of the study data because all of it was already calculated in the correct order? For example, study 100 depends on study 78 which depends on study 23. Ideally these would be in order in the studies like this: 23, 78, 100, where 100 is at the bottom of the list and is being calculated last. When the number of studies exceeds the size of the studies window (i.e. 16 studies are visible at a time in my setup) debugging these dependencies becomes very cumbersome. Does anyone have an easy approach for managing the precedence of their charts easily? If the answer is "just write them down on a paper and draw connections" that won't work, because the order is constantly changing and being updated as studies are being tweaked to work properly with a given system--so the written tree would need to be constantly modified to match the current studies lits. Also, writing down 200+ studies alone will take > 1 hour...and then if you change 1 study, it will need to be re-written. I suppose a spreadsheet might work, but again, it becomes obsolete the moment you add or change a study. It would be grand if there were some mechanism to determine precedence with the click of a button or some log file. And, yes, some of the studies on the chart are custom studies and some spreadsheet formulas so I know VERY_LOW_PRECEDENCE is also another level that needs to be considered in addition to the order mentioned above. All ideas welcome. Thanks, |

There is nothing built-into the system to do what you are wanting, and we can't think of a way to do this otherwise. But maybe people have some ideas of what might work. But, the main thing we wanted to point out is the following setting that may be of use to you: General Settings Window: Use Controlled Order Chart Updating (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Charts >> Charts) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
