Hello, I have 2 questeions about that chart I send you.
1. Why does it load symbols that are not relevant? the loaded day are from 2018, but it loads contracts from 2019? so it loads longer than it should.
2. Calculating the studies takes about 5 minutes. I can't identify the reason. Can you help with that?

Thanks

1. The chart is loading additional symbols since the charts are defined as Continuous Contract charts, and you have selected the current front month contract for the symbol of the chart (ESM19). If you only want to the see the symbol related to the time period you selected (such as ESM18), then just select that particular symbol and do not use the Continuous Contract option. You will find the information on turning off the Continuous Contract here:

2. The only thing we can say is that you have a lot of Volume by Price studies on your charts. These are intensive calculations and this is most likely the reason why it is taking awhile. You can review the information at this link to see about potential improvements:
