yes tick data was always used for most accuracy in all other examples as was volume profiling.. i will in fact remove all volume profile studies from my chart and see what difference it makes but again.. i need to use it so removing it defeats the purpose of my methodology. to get around this issue.. i have 1 chart with 300+ days of data loaded on a higher time frame and other charts with just 50 days loaded for smaller time frames.. i draw support and resistance levels and focus a lot on the bigger picture but need to look at the nuances of the smaller time frames to develop trade ideas. right now i have to use the copy chart drawings feature and eyeball multiple charts to get my prep work done. If switching time frames wasn't an issue then i would use just the one chart and just drill down on the time frames without having to wait 10-15s for all the data to load. It's not that long of a wait but no wait is better. i dont use anything less than 1 min. i only have one 1 min chart with 20 days data which loads as fast as i can blink. again its the bigger charts. its not an issue during rth hours as i dont need to switch time frames then with all the screens i have. how much more memory use are we talking about ? even if it uses an extra 8-10GB of memory i dont mind.. i guess not all users have good systems. wont be surprised if people are trying to trade on windows millenium still with 1gb of ram lol. what if sc could be programmed to utilise more memory as a user choice to speed up data re-loading? Otherwise, the bars have to be rebuilt again from the tick by tick data. There is no way around this
thanks.. that explains it.
