Kiwi's code is just a blind reload. I'm not sure what the SC dev's are going to release. Generally speaking, that's not really something you want to be doing on a regular basis. Years ago when I was trading with Schwab, their chart program would overload and go out to lunch for a minute or so trying to catch up internally (Schwab used M$.Net and it was horrible). If you have multiple charts doing that and you're trying to make a trade, you're going to be at the mercy of how many other charts are reloading at once. There might be a risk for a timeout when talking to the trade server, too. If the trade server only gets part of the trade data when SC stops for a recalc, that might abort the trade and cause strange behaviors.

Once all the chart histories catch up, everything "should" stay in sync. My code depends on the SC internals for this.

With 8 time frames, you may want to try splitting those off into separate chartbooks. Internal SC threading may handle those better.
