Dear Tams,

 

A single chart/dream is more powerfull than a thousand of word/realities "Shaaakspeaaare" :embarassed:

 

How to have an indicator wich starts automatically xDays before and move with the currentday

 

It could be mn, HH, DD, WW, MM

 

It is for saving precious ressources

 

The chart should be always like this everyday

 

Cheers

with today's computer... I don't think you need to worry about CPU power.

open your Task Manager and you will your CPU is running below 20% most of the time.

 

 

furthermore...

 

the moving average is only calculated ONCE...

and plotted ONCE on your chart.

and updates only if there is a change on the chart.

 

if you use the function averageFC() instead of average(),

it uses even less computing power.

 

 

 

How to have an indicator wich starts automatically xDays before and move with the currentday...

 

 

the easiest way is to control the plot:

 

if d > (currentdate - lookback) then plot1( MovingAverage, "MA");

It looks always so simple when you give me the solution.

 

I am shame to be so bad...:bang head:

 

It is not for the MM but for the indicators wich draw a lot of lines

 

I like to use very long period back and I noticed a slow down with certains indicators

PLOT does not use much computing power because each plot is only calculated ONCE.

 

however drawing objects are recalculated again after each tick and re-drawn on the screen again even if there are no changes to their placement on the chart.

drawing objects are: TL_new(), ARW_new(), TEXT_new()

 

if you right click on the chart, a window will pop up.

select Format drawings...

you will see the number of drawing objects you have on that chart.

I have 4000+ drawing objects on some of my charts, they haven't caused any slow down yet.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
