Thanks! You guys are Wonderful. Yes, Global Settings >> Spreadsheet Settings >> Recalculate the Chart When a Formula Column Is Changed was / is ON. (Necessary for fast intrabar accuracy for spreadsheet signals? or fast chart arrows?) What do you mean "unnecessarily" in "It can create more of a CPU load unnecessarily as you are working on the Spreadsheet"? Do you mean the Chart may not need to redraw because the spreadsheet recalculates on formula change regardless? (ie: Set Recalc Chart When Formula Change only if chart-redraw is needed when manually trading off the Chart?) But, set OFF might conceal Arrows, no? Arrows help to monitor Auto-Trade CPU load is important to us scalpers. Last night, I saw an approx. 1-second+ delay in order creation-issuance from a TRUE (Not col. N), which agrees with your explaination. I'll watch for that, for arrows, and follow your instructions w/ V-1419. So,duration of the TRUE is a possible factor. (BUT see below) This enhanced verbose Trade Signal Logging debugger looks GREAT! Just what we need! (A setting for Backtest "Pause" on TRUE or Order Issue would save TONS of time (you added a .01 (typed-in) speed, but it's slower than .01 yet still sometimes fails to show a very-brief True which issues order)). Some extreme-short-duration TRUE's which INSTANTLY issue orders (some may be on bar change where some fields are zeroed for next bar- I've seen)-- don't seem to follow your "getting ignored because there has not yet been at chart update picking up that new value". Those are the most-perplexing Orders and TRUE's that I can't find even on .01 (.003 actual) speed. I use Detail view all the time. A backtest "Pause on Turn TRUE" would help see data-conditions, such as an extreme brief combination such as fields initialize between bars or a precedence or Overlay data-timing issue (which we have ways to overcome IF we know what it is). (Yes, Fill Zeroes with Last Value was/is ON). A "Pause on Order Issue" would show the delay exactly (or a setting to pause on either). Now we're Getting somewhere! I'll report observations in a couple of days. |
