DataSeries exposed values efficiency

[astra]

I have an Indicator A which does not plot but has a number of DataSeries that expose their values to be used in three other indicators B, C and D. Indicators B,C and D will always be loaded together to a chart (among others).

Because of the calculations involved I am trying to find the most efficient way to built this configuration. My Question is: Will indicator A be called three times
(for B,C and D) ? I can built a super indicator X (containing B,C,D) if this will involve one call and is more efficient but I dont prefer this option. Or, it doesnt
matter.

PS. In indicators B,C and D I am reinstating the exposed values of A.

astra,

If you leave the parameters all the same there will only be one instance of indicator A even if called from different indicators.

Thanks Josh that's great. The parameters will be the same.

astra,

I talked to a colleague about this and want to clarify some things. You are just using indicators B, C, D from a chart and not from a strategy correct? I will talk to development and let you know sometime next week. You may get the best efficiency if you rolled it into one "superindicator".

Josh,
Yes, I am using indicators B,C, D from a chart. I 'll wait your answer. Thanks.

astra,

Disregard the earlier comments. There will be three instances created as you reference the indicator from three separate indicators. You may want to roll them into one "super" indicator if you do not want three instances.
