Load data based on...

[12VMan]

Hello - is there any impact to indicator calculations if you choose to Load data based on Bars instead of Days? I am trying to figure if this is just a setting to control how much data is being loaded or is something else

Hello 12VMan,

Thank you for your inquiry.

This settings merely controls the amount of data that is loaded to the chart. It does not change the way that the indicator calculates. This just allows you to have a tighter control over exactly how many bars are loaded to the chart, rather than number of days. With that said, depending on the specific indicator that you are using, increasing/decreasing the amount of his historical data could certainly have an impact on the values that are provided by the indicator. For example, something like an ADL would produce different values with a greater number of days/bars loaded on the chart.
