The Numbers Bars study always shows 0ms calculation time in the Chart Studies window. Adding this one study to an empty chart results in the Average Calculation and Draw Time in the Performance tab of the Chart Settings windows to increase by 25ms consistently. The Volume By Price study also shows 0ms consistently in the Chart Studies window, but it adds 10ms to the Avarage Calculation and Draw Time. Can the accurate display of the calculation time be included in the Chart Studies window? On one of my charts, it took a lot of time to sequentially delete every study to determine which studies were slowing down the chart. They all show 0-1ms, but the Average Calculation and draw Time is 45-60ms. It would be useful to see the accurate calculation time beside the other studies.

Those particular studies also do have a calculation time but it just means the calculation time is less than half a millisecond. So they are calculating very fast. But they do take more time to draw.

Thanks. In that case, would it be possible to show both the calculation time and the draw time in the Chart Studies window? The goal is just getting accurate, actionable, information about how each study if affecting performance. I need to know what study is causing what kind of issue with my charts, to let me know if I should be changing the complexity of calculated studies, or looking at improving hardware for drawing. |

This is too involved for us to be doing. We cannot add this now. And the best thing to do to improve performance is to use additional instances of Sierra Chart.
