Drawing code in Market Analyzer

[vantojo]

I am using specific custom (my code) indicators both on a Chart and in Market Analyzer.

On a chart they are for visual information and in Market Analyzer for alerts.

When an indicator with graphics is run in a Market Analyzer, is there any efficiency penalty for this, since there is no user interface?

Thanks

Hello vantojo,

When running an indicator in the MA you should see an increase in performance if you were doing something heavy with rendering because it would not be present in that context. You could also see errors if you used items like ChartControl or chart specific items that are not present. If you script runs normally then you likely have everything as it should be, the platform would just ignore any of the rendering code used/it won't be called (OnRender). Items like Plots have two parts, the Series and its visual. For those items the plot would just be used as a series and its rendering would be ignored.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
