MultiSeries - Loading data for x days

[bukkan]

i am creating a multi-series indicator.

the primary chart is a daily chart with say 500 days of data, while the secondary data-series is of one minute granularity.

now currently the issue is the secondary data also loads 500 days of data which takes a lot of time when connected. now for the secondary series say 30 days of data is sufficient for my indicator. so can i have a method from where i can define the number of days to load.

like currently i am using

protected override void Initialize()
        {
            Add(PeriodType.Minute,1);
            Overlay                = true;
         }

what i want is

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(PeriodType.Minute,1, 30);
Overlay = true;
}

the 30 as defined in red tells the script to load 30 days of data for the secondary series. do remember the primary series is a daily bar with 500 days of data.

thanks in advance.

Hello,

Thank you for your forum post.

Unfortunately using Add() will always add in the enter amount of data for the master data series. There are no functions currently to limit this. You would need to resuce the number of days loaded in the chart. I will submit this into development however.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks Brett for the prompt reply.

appreciate for sending the same to development for consideration. hope it will get implemented in some future version as the same will save a lot of data throttling issue when loading a high number of days of data in the primary series.

thanks again.
