It appears that I am taking a pretty big hit in CPU utilization when an efs() is called; especially the first time. I think part of the problem is that the efs() returns an array and a lot of time is spent getting (calculating) the various individual array values.
efslib:
indicator;
My feeling is that instead of just getting the value from the array, the entire calculation is being done over for successive calls. So in reality, since the array has 3 elements, the indicator is being calculated 3 times instead of just once
efslib:
PHP Code:
//Define the DynamicSuppRess indicator
//Note: it takes 2 functions to turn a KP indicator into a serial object
//Note: DynamicSuppRess returns an array. must use efs()
function KPDynamicSR(symbol, interval) {
if(symbol == null) symbol = getSymbol();
if(interval == null) interval = getInterval();
var vSymbol = symbol + "," + interval
return new Array(efs(KP2Path + "KPDynamicSuppRess.efs",0,sym( vSymbol)), efs(KP2Path + "KPDynamicSuppRess.efs",1,sym( vSymbol)), efs(KP2Path + "KPDynamicSuppRess.efs",2,sym( vSymbol)) );
PHP Code:
function main(fpSymbol, fpInterval, fpPT1, fpPS1, fpThick1, fpColor1, fpPT2, fpPS2, fpThick2, fpColor2, fpPT3, fpPS3, fpThick3, fpColor3, fpPVar)
{
// one time initialization
if(bInit == false){
if(fpSymbol == null) fpSymbol = getSymbol();
if(fpInterval == null) fpInterval = getInterval();
setCursorLabelName("ESKPDYNAMICSUPPRESSB_Mean " +fpSymbol + "(" + fpInterval + ")",0);
setCursorLabelName("ESKPDYNAMICSUPPRESSB_Ress " +fpSymbol + "(" + fpInterval + ")",1);
setCursorLabelName("ESKPDYNAMICSUPPRESSB_Supp " +fpSymbol + "(" + fpInterval + ")",2);
