Plot avg for current bar

[pj909]

I used the Wizard to create an EFS to plot 5 MAs. Problem is: it wont plot the averages for the current bar.

what does the return statment look like?

As far as I can see the formula is plotting in real time.
You may want to verify your EFS Settings. Click Tools->EFS->Settings... and make sure that Make all formulas compute on close(rather than tick by tick) in the Performance section is unchecked.
You will need to restart eSignal for the change to go into effect

Thanks Alex. I forgot I had checked the compute on close box after an earlier post suggesting this would help performance. Would increasing Stack Size and Heap Size help? Any guidelines on setting those values?

I personally have never had to modify the default settings so I would not know.
However I have seen this subject come up a few times so you may want to try running a Search for heap.
