loading multiple charts using eSignal data

[klotzki]

I noticed that loading multiple charts with eSignal data is slower than using eSignal itself. I normally have 6 charts loaded, varying timeframes from 1-min to monthly, 200 bars each and with 3 MAs and volume indicator for each.

When it only takes a good 1 to 1.5 second to load in eSignal software, it takes about 30 secs to 1 min in NT. Loading time is reduced to 1-2 secs only if I bring down the number of charts to 2-3.

Anyways suggestions on how else to tweak this?

Hello klotzki,

You can reduce the amount of historical data that is requested or use less indicators in the chart to decrease the loading time.

Indicators need to be calculated on the historical data that is loaded, which can take some time - depending on what calculations the indicator needs to make.
