Object Lifecycle of hosted child indicator, Calc.OnEachTick

[balltrader]

Hi,
I ran into a confusing scenario yesterday.

My parent ind script has calc.OET
My hosted child ind script also has calc.OET

In my child ind script, I was debugging to Log() during the State=Config, to determine if Period property was set below a minimum value when called from the parent.


My understanding on Obj Lifecycle was that config is only called when the config dialog box / window is displayed / submitted...

But my log quickly filled up and a chart refresh ran for over an hour before I pulled the plug.

So it appears when the parent makes a call to a hosted child ind script, that child script triggers the state=config on each call (i.e. on each tick ) ?

Is this accurate? Does it also trigger the state = dataloaded on each call?
Since I have series being instantiated during the state=DL, are these series being created on each instance all and then destroyed after the child script has finished and returns to the parent?

I'm asking bcuz I could not find any description or explanation of this in documentation or the forum search.

Thanks

Hello balltrader,

Thank you for your post.

I'm not seeing the same occur in my testing - while State.Configure can be reached multiple times, it shouldn't be triggering every time the script makes a call to the hosted script.

Would you be able to provide a reduced example that displays this behavior so we may test on our end to see what may be occurring?

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.
