regarding continuous contracts

Hi support,

I have continuous contracts for CL for the past 36 months. Whenever I change timeframe of that chart or when I add studies like volume profile or cumulative delta, it loads all the contracts again for 3 mins or so (5 sec for every contract). So I have to wait 3 mins if I have changed it to other bar type,etc . Is it possible to overcome this or is it already efficient enough? Thank You.

There really is no way to overcome this other than to use a faster storage drive and computer. And avoid just changing the bar timeframe altogether and instead use separate charts for the different bar time frames you want to look at.

Actually there is a way to solve this. Use another instance of Sierra Chart:
Using DTC Server for Data and Trading in Another Sierra Chart Instance

And set the Intraday Data Storage Time Unit to 10 Seconds in that instance:
Data/Trade Service Settings: Intraday Data Storage Time Unit (Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Common Settings)
