Post From: Does hiding studies disable their processing?

The calculation processing of a study, is very negligible during real-time updating. And hiding it completely removes the graphics load, which is most of the processing. Although if the chart, is not visible the graphics processing is not occurring anyway.

To effectively disable a chart and the study processing you just need to increase the Chart Update Interval of the chart:
Chart Settings: Chart Update Interval in Milliseconds (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Display >> Chart Update Interval menu)

The capability for what you want is already there.

It also is not technically possible, for us to develop the capability to disable a particular study. You just have to remove it. Or slow down the update rate for the entire chart by increasing the Chart Update Interval.

Basically Sierra Chart is already giving you everything you need. You can also move charts and studies that you use less frequently to sub instances to distribute processing into a separate process and separate CPU threads.

Also there is no logic to a "freeze" functionality in a program, that is processing streaming data from a remote source. It always has to process the data. If you want to do a freeze for a chart or studies, just simply close the Chartbook.
