Therefore I would appreciate if you could lay this out for me - if possible with as less technical computer lingo as possible. Most of the time I am using on BarsUpdate set to False.
For example I am using 10 DataSeries/timeframes (from 1min up to 240mins) in one indicator. Does it make a difference performance wise if I actually only use 8 of these - with 2 Data Series not being used but I have not gotten around to updating the code by changing various BarsArrays. In other words, does the mere fact that there is a DataSeries in the Initialize section but not otherwise being used in the code make a difference?
Or for example I run two self created indicators in one chart. Both indicators use multiple timeframes, let's say 10 of them. I could easily put the two codices together into one indicator. It would make that one indicator naturally a lot larger but would mean I am "importing" the concerned timeframes/DataSeries into only one indicator instead of two. Again, does it make a difference and if so how?
I hope I have expressed myself sufficiently clear (if not please ask), and I hope you can enlighten me. (Any reader here is also invited to chip in with their experience).
