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.
The problem here OP, is your approach, you're side-stepping a very easy technical change for doing things in an inherently slow fashion. It's not reasonable to expect SC to load 100,000s of data points dynamically, redraw all bars, etc. for multiple days/weeks worth of data and expect there to not be a significant delay. This isn't even SC specific either - most chart platforms will run into similar time vs space basic limitations of computing and this is a typical one. Here's what you need to do: 1. Create a chartbook for each of the instruments you care about. 2. Create a separate chart for each timeframe for that instrument you care about - and you put it within the same chartbook. 3. Assign [ and ] as hotkeys for prev chart or next chart. 4. Assign shift-[ and shift-] as hotkeys for prev chartbook or next chartbook. 5. Additionally, you can save your study collections from one chart and apply them to others so as to speed up the chart cloning process. Then you just use it. There is zero delay switching between charts and chartbooks. The work has been done ahead of time by nature of having the charts already configured and being charted on an ongoing basis. The only delay is on reopening chartbooks which is usually a per-session or per-trading day type thing. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-10-01 06:39:28
