In TV, you can scroll to infinity (well, if you pay them enough...) and the chart automatically adjust to the time range you have on screen. I rarely felt any slowdown. My best guess is it dynamically loads just the data you need on screen plus a buffer. Can't we have that on SC? Why must I set a data limiting for all of my charts? Let's say I have a weekly chart besides a 5 minutes chart; to see some meaningful amount of data on the weekly, I must load, for example, 2 years worth of data. Now the chart book becomes slow because the 5m chart automatically loaded 750k+ data point to memory, and calculated all the studies on them, that I absolutely don't need.
This is not correct. When you load 2 years worth of data into a chart, any other chart with the same symbol is NOT loading the same amount of data. Each chart is individual and only has the data loaded for that chart. If the 5 minute chart has 2 days loaded, and the weekly chart has 2 years loaded, then the 5 minute chart is only going to calculate the 2 days of data it has loaded. In addition, once an initial calculation is done, most studies are only updated for changes in the most current bar and do not recalculate the previous data.
