Dear SierraChart, First of all Merry Christmas to you all! Amazing piece of Software, thank you. Basis of question: I am using a separate INstance with the DOM to place my orders, simply because it is 3-4x times faster than if the saem DOM was part of my Chartbook that has 12 visible and another 20 background charts. But I love seeing exactly on some charts where I stand currently on my DOM (like the Global Cursor inside of one Instance of SierraChart) I understand you chose not to write a Global Cursor into Sierra, and that could indeed be a complicated matter. So I have a simplitic ACSIL code that saves into a file nothing more than just the price level (so no sophisticated time/price cursor, like the Global Curser is), because this is perfectly sufficient on a Renko-kind of chart that I have on my DOM chart (time is of not much meaning, whereas price is). This code has a "Source" and a "Destination" module and the Source writes into a file the price I point to on my DOM, while the "Destination" module handles this input on my other (bigger) SierraChart Instance and places a dotted line for a short while ontomy selected Charts. But, it is excruciatingly slow (plus: no matter what time I set the line disappears too quickly). It is sso slow, that I have to stop on a DOM price for at least a second, before it actually reacts on the Destionation side. I don't understand why that is or if there is anything I could change to achieve a more dynamic reaction? Thank you very much for your thoughts on this. All the best, |

Try using a RAM Disk.

any disc operation is going to slow things down. you might try 'storing' your info in a temp memory location... like the clip board memory... if you arent using it for anything else. just as a FYI, sc.FreeDLL is no longer required as of version 1836 and higher. |

Thank you Sir, I am using a RAM-disk, but I'll try the RAM-memory. Happy New Year to you. |
