In case of Ninja - It uses minute data separate from tick data and would "appear" to be faster when 60 minute to 5 minute chart data is loaded.
In case of SC - if the underlying data is tick data ( 60 minute or 5 minute charts would have to be built from tick data ) it would have to build the chart from tick data. One of those potential reasons why the other program might appear faster to load/switch minute data and might not be same when tick charts ( with same number of days to load as SC) would be faster when the switch to different chart period. Thanks brilliant explanation! that certainly solves the puzzle and makes sense. SC relies solely on only one type of data that is downloaded. if minute data can be stored separately to tick data, then SC wont need to reload the entire chart every time... just switch bars like ninja does as you mentioned. so it is a technical limitation in SC as i was alluding to. hope sc can take your feedback on board positively. |
