maybe i should have elaborated a little more in my post. yes im aware data loading occurs from local drives. i have a top notch dedicated trading system with ssd drives, processors etc and no additional software. in fact, i also removed all bloatware and unnecessary services from my windows system so hardware/software is not the issue. i read through and applied all the recommendations in your documentations as well. to clarify, i was referring to large number of intraday days which is necessary for my methodology because i dont rely on just indicators and smaller time frames. yes, I use volume profiles that captures months of data to get a big picture view of the markets. smaller number of days (even 50-100) load fast on my system and i have no issue there... and i dont mind the initial time it takes to load everything when i start SC. im talking about using it after all the data is initially loaded and i have to switch time frames on a chart with a year's worth of intraday tick data loaded, that's where the issue is. now you would say well duh.. i have too much data loaded.. end of puzzle. my question is not about whether sc is fast or efficient or stable .. i know it is which is why im signed up... it's about why data re-loading needs to happen to begin with every time when switching time frames. i've seen and used other platforms (and i wont mention names) where switching from 60 mins to 5 mins on the same chart happens instantly with a years worth of data loaded. ie. if im on a 60 min chart and i select 5 mins, bars just appear without having to reload all the data behind it. maybe no one else in your user base uses an intraday chart with 300 days of tick data and volume profiling and needs to switch time frames on a chart. hmm anyway.. thanks for the reply.. as you said .. nothing's going to change so no point debating. |
