Post From: I made SierraChart Hang while replay was paused.

Doing some weekend experiments, I did the following:

New Chartbook
New Intraday Chart
5 days
5 Trades/Bar
7 studies:
Bar Numbering
Bar Time Duration
Spreadsheet Formula with Bar Time Duration as input. (very simple subtraction)
Highest High / Lowest Low on Bar Duration
EMA on Spreadsheet Formula
Volume
Volume/Number Of Trades

I had replay on but was PAUSED while playing with the above studies.

It took several minutes. I just about finished writing this up and CPU went from 17% and an hourglass cursor back to normal, as though to say, "nothing to see here - move along." 3-4 minutes

It seems to be related to the Highest High / Lowest Low study. Once control was returned to me, I clicked Apply on that study (which was still open) and it's hanging again. (about 5 minutes)

The study is looking at a LOT of bars 100,000.
The chart is on 5 trades/bar, so less than one day of ES being looked at.
Of all studies to cause this, I'm a bit surprised it would be highest high/lowest low.

Anyway, thought you should be made aware.

Meanwhile, I'll play with smaller data sets.
