Post From: Autolooping sense check

Hi guys, Sorry if I'm being thick, but I just want to confirm if my understanding is correct with regards to Autoloop. After watching Frozen Tundra + reading about it in the docs what I understand about autoloop is the following: 1. If you don't use autoloop -> you will get much faster recalculation because your study won't be called at every bar but only with updatestartindex = 0 and then again with updatestartindex = arraysize - 1. (this makes perfect sense). 2. During normal study function calling (i.e when your study/trading system is live) -> it doesn't matter whether you use autoloop 1 or 0 because the calling triggers are identical and you cannot control when your function is called right ? So my questions are 2: 1. Is there any other reason why manual looping is considered "more efficient" than autolooping other than the case of full recalc? 2. Is there a way to make my study be called only on a specific event (faster than the update interval).. let's say when an order is received at a given price exceeding X -> send a limit order at the price before that ? All the best, Sierra rocks! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-09-06 11:35:02
