In general if I'm using the same study on multiple charts, is it better to put the study on one chart and then use the Study/Price Overlay study on the other charts and reference the study or, to place the study on each chart?

Specifically, I want to have VWAP on 3 charts in the same chartbook and I want to do things in the most efficient way.

Really depends on the study and also the time frames for the other charts. SPO gives inconsistent results when going from low time frame and high time frame combinations or time-based charts to volume-based *sometimes*, not always. But something to take into consideration. Can always utilize the Performance tab on the F5/settings also to check for acceptable performance.

In general, I'd go with one source of truth, one study doing all the heavy lifting and calculations, and use SPO to project those elsewhere.

It should be more efficient to have the actual study on each individual chart and not copying it.
