I have been under the assumption that sierra chart was set up to allow lots of overlays. I am seeing that many FREE charting applications online i.e. trdding view allow multiple timeframe overlays very simply with no speed issues. AM i doing something wrong using the "STUDY/PRICE OVERLAY" from larger time frames onto smaller time frames? it appears that sierra chart does not like this too much and is constantly recalcualting the charts being referenced. it is tagging these charts. is this normal and or does it slow everything down? i read about chart tagging and recalcualtion but it didnt help me to understand what is really going on with the charts. thanks in advance. i do this for moving averages and some other stuff. |

i shut down all of my charts. and started a new chartbook the only one running in sierra chart. i have 2 charts open thats it. when i do a price overlay from 1 chart to another the cpu usage jumps from 1 % to 4.4 % and stays in the 4 % range on 1 overlay. Is there a better or more efficient way to do an overlay of different time frames in sierra chart or is this the best it gets? or is somethign wrong with the way i am doing it or is something corrupted on my sierra chart? thanks. |

In regards to the first post, the issue is explained here: High CPU Usage | Inactive User Interface | Poor Performance | Long Time to Load Chart Data | Charts Reloading Often: 30.9 References to Other Charts / Continuous Full Recalculation of Charts i have 2 charts open thats it. when i do a price overlay from 1 chart to another the cpu usage jumps from 1 % to 4.4 % and stays in the 4 % range We do not know specifically what you are doing. This should not be the case and we cannot reproduce this. In general, there is not going to be an issue like this at all. There is no problem like this and we do not know the specifics of what is going on in your case.

specifically what I am doing is this. I take a 5 minute chart and a 20 period moving average. i take a 1 minute chart and i overlay with the study price overlay the 5 minute moving average on the 1 minute chart. so when i do this which is a simple overlay of a 5 minute moving average with period of 20 on a 1 minute chart. should i be using the price overlay study for this? since they have a 5 minute and a 1 minute time frame |

what i am asking is how does one do an OVERLAY without a full recalculation all the time? or is this the only way to do it?

make a 2 legged custom symbol say dec crude minus january crude and run a study against it and see how long it takes to calcualte the study. it is double the time for any single symbol study. once the math is done shouldnt those numbers be used to calculate the indidcators but it seems like it is calculating both versus just using the calculated number as a single symbol thanks |
