Quicker study update

I have a study that I have setup that has the auto retracement that references another study (period ohlc) that is setup for 15m prior candle. If I refresh the study it looks nice and clean and references the 15m prior as indicated. However, as it is developing it looks choppy and goes off of whatever current candle period I am using. Is there a way to have this study update quicker and without me having to hit my hotkeys every time?

We are not really understanding the situation, and we can not tell anything from the image, as we have no idea what within it is what. We really need more information to understand what you are doing.

I am using a 1min or 5min chart with the auto retracement/projection study. The auto retracement study is using "based on" that references another study period OHLC which is set to 15m. So the main candle is either 1m or 5M and there is an overlay study that shows 15m bars which the auto retracement is referencing. From what I can see, the auto retracement study likes to auto updated based on the chart bar not the study it is referencing. This makes that choppy look in my photo, which is what the study would look like all the time if I did not have the auto retracement referencing the 15m OHLC study. If I refresh the study (with hotkey) it cleans up and looks the way it should referencing the "based on" study 15m OHLC. I am trying to make it so I don't have to constantly refresh my study (hotkey) and see if there is a way for the study to update properly on its own calculating with the "based on" study instead of reverting back to the bar period until I refresh the study.

From what you are stating, the overlay of the OHLC from the 15 minute chart is not updating correctly to the chart where it is overlaid. In this case, refer to the following Input which it sounds like it set to "Yes", but should be set to "No": Study/Price Overlay Study: Copy Source Data to Latest Corresponding Destination Bar For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Thank you, but that did not work. It appears the auto retracement/projection study still updates based on the chart bar period, not the study it is based on. So if I am on the 1m chart the auto retracement updates every minute instead of adjusting to the "based on" study which is referencing 15m. If I update the study via hotkey it cleans back up and goes to the proper reference. Just trying to have to avoid doing a study update every minute for it to show correctly.

Please get us a chart that shows this issue by following these instructions (make sure you remove all studies that are not relevant, and get us the two charts, not just the one as specified in the instructions): Support Board Posting Information: Providing Chartbook with Only a Single Chart For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Here is a chart with the full study and another with the studies I am referencing. There is more than one retracement/projection that is linked to the 15m ohlc and 15m ohlc prior.

That is a Study Collection. We need a Chartbook that has the charts in it as you have them setup so we can see what you are doing. Follow these instructions to get us the chartbook with the two charts in it: Support Board Posting Information: Providing Chartbook with Only a Single Chart For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Sorry about that, here is the chartbook.

We need the chartbook with the two charts in it and ONLY the necessary studies to reproduce what you are seeing. There are too many studies on the one chart. Please remove everything but the absolute minimum studies required to show what you are seeing.

I don't know what you are talking about with "the two charts". I included one chart with my full setup, how I trade with it. The second chart has only the issues that I am referring to. I have multiple retracement/projections study's all referencing either the current 15m HL or the prior 15m HL. This is as clean as I can get it and still represent what I am trying to accomplish.

Your original statement is that you are basing an auto retracement in a 1 minute chart on an overlaid study from a 15 minute chart. Are you not using the "Study/Price Overlay"? If not, then what is the setup that we need to look into. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

I am not sure if we are working with semantics at this point. I am sorry if I somehow mispoke in my what I was presenting. You have the studies at this point and can see that there are only period ohlc studies and retracement/projection studies. The period OHLC are both set to 15min. All of the projection/retracements are using the "based on" section refering to the 15m OHLC or the Prior OHLC. The projection/retracement does not auto update based on the current or prior 15m OHLC without refreshing the study, it reverts to calculating on the 1m which is what the chart is on. So I constantly have to refresh the study for it to look right. I have just recently found I can also go into chart>recalculate and it will refresh the study to make it look right. Is there a way to get the chart to automatically "recalculate" every minute so I don't have to contantly run my hotkey or press "recalculate" every minute?

Looking deeper into support boards it appears the study Chart Recalculation solved the problem.

A full recalculation is not a proper solution. This is a calculation order issue which you need to resolve.
