chart - data - CPU

[tonynt]

Hello,

when doing a strategies like the "sample-multiinstruments" and I want to use eg a MACD of AUDUSD in my EURUSD-ninjascript (eg background color in EURUSD is green when MACD of AUDUSD is rising) I can do with no problem.

But because of computer ressources I think its better to have the AUDUSD chart not opened.

So, does the MACD in this example above "work" when AUDUSD chart is not open? Or what can I do for having this working in my NT-script? To add in the market-analyzer? Or is this same CPU intentsive as a chart?

Thanks
Tony

Hello Tony,

You do not have to have the added data series open in a separate chart.

You can add this data series directly to your script by using the Add() method such as we do in the SampleMultiInstrument script:

    Add("$AUDUSD", PeriodType.Minute, 1);

This will add this data series to your script and can be used as an input series for your MACD indicator. This does not require this instrument to be open in a separate chart or market analyzer window.
