I can't think of any valid use case for a study to be set to ignore and still have the ability to reference its values or even waste cpu cycles to calculate. For instance, a spreadsheet formula study should not even calculate the custom formula if set to ignore.
Yes, from your perspective, I am sure others would disagree. Also, though I guess it makes sense to you, disabling study calculation via the drawstyle setting would surely be an example of bad ui design... Here's another suggestion to improve performance with calculate studies functionality. The field "Number of bars to calculate" in most studies allows a max value of 2147,483,647 which is significantly high. I cant think of any use case where this value would require a number higher than the actual max number of bars loaded on a chart. Limiting this value automatically to max number of bars loaded in a chart could improve overall recalculation performance. It needs to be done automatically as we don't always have max number of bars readily available (unless we add bar numbering study on the chart to get this max value).
What do you think happens already? Think about it, how can the study be calculated for more bars than are in the chart? It can't... If the value set is higher than the number of bars in the chart, then the study calculation begins at the first bar in the chart, how can it possibly do anything different? |
