Hello td_910,
Thanks for your post.

You would need to run some tests to figure this out. Perhaps run both of these snippets at the same time and check on them in the NinjaScript Utilization Monitor inside the NinjaScript Output window.

The number of conditions in an 'if' statement would make a negligible difference in most cases.

Please see the following link for more information on the NinjaScript Utilization Monitor: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...izationMonitor

Thanks.

Is that text drawn by the indicators or manually drawn text, that consumes such a lot resources?
Indicators should be fine compared to the rest?

[NinjaTrader_JoshG]

td_910,

There are a lot of variables that go into what impacts resource usage. Perhaps a NinjaScript drawn object could use more resources, but in most cases I do not expect it to make much of an impact.

[td_910]

this is all text and lines drawn by indicators ;-)

td_910,

I do not expect it to make much of an impact.

I should be clearer here. I meant in comparison to manually drawn objects. I would probably expect the same performance impact for each drawing object added no matter if it were done through NS or by manually drawing it.

[td_910]

Thank you.

Is it just the visible objects or all objects from the Drawing Objects List. For that chart (10 days) it's about 400 total and maybe 80 visible.

td_910,

I would expect the platform to save some resources when the drawing objects are not visible.
