Post From: Problem with Auto Recalculation

FYI. The problem with the auto recalculation was observed while using a base chart type of volume per bar with the Renko study applied.

I have a few suggestions about the design of your software.

1. It would be helpful to have an option to disable auto recalculations. The software currently has menu functions for manually doing this if needed.

2. It would be helpful to have an option to specify whether data arrays are cleared when reloads / recalculations are done. Ideally this would be provided on an array by array basis.

It appears anytime that a reload / recalculation is performed the data arrays are cleared. This is not desirable in some cases. In my systems I normally perform multiple timeframe analysis and quite often generate indicators in shorter timeframes that are based on longer timeframe charts. Whenever a reload or recalculation is done, the indicators values in the shorter timeframes are reevaluated and computed based on the current indicators in the longer timeframes. As a result, the shorter timeframe indicators values no longer reflect the value that was present when the shorter timeframe bar was generated. To get around this problem I normally maintain my own arrays that are not cleared when a reload / recalculation is done. When a reload / recalculation is done I copy the data values from my arrays to your data arrays which restores the captured values. This ensures that the charts are restored just as they looked in real-time.

Thank you
