Why is indicator ADX always called?

[rmt81]

The first line of the class definition in Strategy.cs is:

private NinjaTrader.Indicator.ADX _indicator = new NinjaTrader.Indicator.ADX();

I just discovered while debugging, that every time OnBarUpdate() is called in any strategy, ADX.OnBarUpdate() is also called. Does this serve any useful purpose, or is it just unnecessary computing overhead?

rmt81,

Yes, this is expected and is required for internal operation.

Matthew:

Can I replace it with an indicator like SMA that I will use anyway to reduce the overhead?

Thanks
