How to Plot Automatically a Moving Period ?

[aaa 10]

I use this to begin to plot an indicator at a precisedd date before

 

inputs:

iStartDate( 1090505 ),

 

If date this bar >= iStartDate

then begin

end;

 

How to plot automatically a moving period ?

 

ex:

condition

plotting 3 moving days before today

 

result

today 09-may

plot from 06 > 09

tomorrow is 10-may

plot from 09 > 10

etc...

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.

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.
