Post From: Lower CPU on Color Bar Based on Alert Condition?

Hi,

I love the Color Bar based on alert condition however when I add a few of them I notice CPU usage goes up considerably. Does "Evaluate on Bar Close" only get run at end of bar thus use a lot less CPU?

If for example I am running this on a 1 min chart and notice CPU is a lot do I have the option of creating a new 1 min chart and setting Chart Update Interval in Milliseconds to like 10000 which would run it only ONCE every 10 seconds correct?

Then if that's the case use Study/Price Overlay to plot it on fast updating 1 min chart giving me best of both worlds fast ticking chart to see quick price movements and my advanced studies that I don't need run every update or even second and want CPU usage to be lowest.

Am I correct in assuming this is a good course of action?
