Processing Efficiency Question

[MRToby]

I'm planning an indicator that will run on intraday bars and trying to minimize the load on my processing power because it has 16 variables to calculate and I'll be running it on 38 instruments, and my PC is old. Here's my question:

Part of my indicator calls for me to confirm that High0 is less than the current day high. Is it more efficient to add a daily bar series to the indicator and call the current day high from that, or would it be more resource efficient to just call the High value from the built in CurrentDayOHL indicator?

I realize this question highlights my ignorance about a variety of issues, however, I'd appreciate any help.

Hello,
Thanks for your post.

You are correct. It would be the most efficient to add a daily bar series to the indicator and call the current day high from that. It would be important to be familiar with how working with multi time frames is different than one time frame. I am going to include a link to our help documentation on working with multiple time frames, for your convenience.
