Kijunsen MTF very slow to calculate

gfx · 2021-02-24T21:46:57+00:00

Hi all, I wanted to play around with the instruction timeframe() DEFPARAM CALCULATEONLASTBARS = 200 inpS = 9 inpM = 26 inpL = 52 timeframe(default) // Compute KjS = KijunSen[inpS,inpM,inpL] return KjS This is immediately displayed on screen DEFPARAM CALCULATEONLASTBARS = 200 inpS = 9 inpM = 26 inpL = 52 timeframe(default) KjS = KijunSen[inpS,inpM,inpL] timeframe(30 minutes, updateonclose) htfKjS = KijunSen[inpS,inpM,inpL] return KjS, htfKjS Still calcultating after 5 minutes

Hi all,

I wanted to play around with the instruction timeframe()
```
DEFPARAM CALCULATEONLASTBARS = 200

inpS =   9  
inpM =  26  
inpL = 52   

timeframe(default)
// Compute 
KjS  = KijunSen[inpS,inpM,inpL]

return KjS
```
This is immediately displayed on screen
```
DEFPARAM CALCULATEONLASTBARS = 200 

inpS = 9 
inpM = 26 
inpL = 52 

timeframe(default) 

KjS = KijunSen[inpS,inpM,inpL] 

timeframe(30 minutes, updateonclose)

htfKjS  = KijunSen[inpS,inpM,inpL]

return KjS, htfKjS
```

It calculates every 5 minutes if your default TF is 5 minutes.

But what’s inside the 30-minute TF should remain unchanged for 30 minutes.

gfx – Topic moved to ProBuilder forum as it is an indicator question and not a platform issue.

Have you read this?

thks. I did read the post. When I say it is still calculating, I mean … (see attached)

On a 15 minutes Dax chart.

Indeed, I do not expect an update of values every 15 minutes for the 30 minutes TF calculation.

But I would expect the indicator to be displayed on chart immediately for previous bars.

Have you tried it on a live account ?

You mean calculating time!?

Since there was no pic attached, I thought you were talking about the different TF’s timing.

On my PC it works like a charm, even increasing 200 to 2000 did not make any difference, just 20000 caused some slight delay.

ok. Thanks for testing. I did close PRT and reboot PC. Much better now.

Certainly memory issue.

OK – so what you are actually saying is that just a 15 minute Kijunsen calculates quickly on a DAX 15 minute chart but a 30 minute Kijunsen along with a 15 minute Kijunsen calculates extremely slowly on a DAX 15 minute chart.

I’ll change your topic title as it is a little confusing and hopefully others can test and see if they have the same issue. Until then I’m off to bed as it is a bit late/early here in Greece!

You and Roberto fixed the issue by testing and then turning off and on again while I was posting! A fix is a fix. Night night.
