Inserting beyond 20 formula columns would change all the letters
If you use the ID#.SG#@# referencing format, you can insert columns, and studies, without this problem.

If column H does not provide enough cells, you can add a sheet to the spreadsheet that is not associated with a chart to do intermediate calculations and user input tables, then reference them from sheets that are associated with charts.

Here are my recommendations when building a complex system:
-Set the Number of Formula Columns to 60. It doesn't hurt to have spares when you're working. You can reduce them later if you must, if you use the ID#.SG#@# referencing format.
-Use the ID#.SG#@# referencing format when referencing studies, and use the traditional column/row referencing format for all other columns/cells. With the Number of Formula Columns set to 60, this allows the flexibility to insert/delete columns because references will automatically follow. The only thing you have to manually change is the respective Draw Styles. Caution: if you have formulas in the 60th column, and then insert a column, those formulas will be overwritten by a study output. Leave spare columns to the right of your working columns.
-Do not use columns beyond those used by studies. If you add a study, your formulas will be overwritten. Instead, add an unassociated sheet.
