hi, how are you?

i've set up a new chart to view bitcoin using binance feed however i'm very confused in as much as which setting to set in the chart studies. i've attached what i currently have saved.

what i'm trying to achieve: i'd like to add some more studies to the chart such as market profile, vwap and foot print but when i do the computer completley slows down to snails pace.

can you help before i pull all my hair out lol?

tia, saf

Just follow through each of the steps, one by one, and see if you can get a good balance for what you want.

But, in the end, the crypto currencies have such large volumes that it is a general problem. You may not be able to find a resolution that fits your needs.

For the Tick Size use:
2

You have it set too high.

This is the setting we are referring to:
Chart Settings: Tick Size (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu)

one more question oh wise ones...

please see the attached screen shot.

what values should be in these to columns please?

comparing it to my ES chart, which reads 'volume per bar' and '5000' respectively, it seems the set values for my bitcoin chart are too detailed. i'm presuming that's why my computer slows down??

anyhow, when i attempted to change the values in the bitcoin chart to 'volume per bar' and '5000', the chart starts to load up but stops at 99.23% every time. i end up having to abort.

i've also attached the values in the <symbols> part of the chart settings if you don't mind checking the values i've inputed there too?

I have a similar situation. Tried different settings. He is more than a minute late, then catches up. The problem is on the spot market, everything is fine on the futures market.
Admins, please take a look! Thank you!
