Reduce CPU load for CalculateOnBarClose = false

[td_910]

Hi,

I'm trying to reduce the CPU load of an indicator, that does run with
CalculateOnBarClose = false
I'm only doing calculations with the last price, no volume or tick count...

Would this be possible with a variable, that stores the last price and checks for a change and if there is no change in price returns?

How would this look like?

Thanks

Thomas

Hello td_910,
Yes, it is possible to do so with a price based indicator and you will witness substantial performance enhancement.

A sample code will be like:

in Variable:

double lastClose = 0;

in OnBarUpdate

if (!FirstTickOfBar && Close[0] == lastClose) return;

lastClose = Close[0];
//rest of the code.
