@Zondor likes a challenge. Mike

whoever will like this challenge is more than welcome ;-)

cheers,

That sounds like something that might be correctable. Would have to see the code.

hey @Zondor,

the indi is attached on the first page
thank you

... a relative small better renko chart and due to intense calculations during fast moving market ninjatrader hangs/freezes for a few seconds. so its not possible to set orders during these times. i use it with cobc=false and each tick the indicator is calculated over all x thousand bars. i really need this to be fixed...

perfect storm for slowness, have you try it without coloring code?

yes, i actually stripped it down to just one plot and the problem is clearly located in the while statement that recalculates all bars.

g'day!

i actually renamed the variables so the code is a little easier to read.
i still hope somebody can help me...

i finally managed it to fix the loop problem and the indicator is now working as expected.

it helps when you talk out loud, talking about it simulates your creativity.

@mk77ch, usually if you've come to the forum for assistance it is nice to post your finished code for review. May I request you post the final version?

I had a quick look at the indicator. It is a linear weighted moving average further smoothed with a simple moving average. The StdDev bands use a peculiar formula. I have therefore slightly modified them.

The modified indicator is attached.

I have compared the loading times of the indicator from post #16 and the indicator attached on a 15 min chart with a lookback period of 1 year.

mkGoldBands: loading in 60 seconds
anaGoldBands: loading in 2 seconds

The problem here is the number of draw objects that was used. mkGoldBands uses 1 draw object per bar, while anaGoldBands uses fewer larger draw objects. The difference in speed is not linked to the modified formula for the standard deviation.
