Performance Optimization - loading multiple instances of an indicator

[Magzor]

So I'm working on a system where I have multiple custom indicators, and they all call the Orderflow cumulative delta. Since OFCD is tickbased it takes a while to load. My question is, it seems the same data is loaded multiple time, once for the UI indicator, and also once per indicator that is using it in the code - so is there a way to optimize this so that it's only loaded once?

Hello Magzor,

Indicators are only cached/optimized in NinjaScript when they use identical settings/data. For example if you called an SMA twice using the same parameters and data the second SMA would be the first cached instance. Only in that case would there be any kind of cache or optimization. If you use different settings or data for the indicators they all will need to load and process individually. The manually applied chart indicators are not part of your NinjaScript so those will additionally need to load on their own.

Thanks for the reply Jessy! Very helpful. Since I'm using the same settings for all my indicators when they load the Orderflow indicators, I assume it's only loading once which is perfect. (not counting the ui instance like you mentioned)
