efs script locks up running efs script

[mmulloy]

My efs script runs fine on a one minute chart with backtest and livedata but when I switch to a tick chart eSignal locks up and usually crashes. This test script simply grabs OHLC and returns.
Is there a way to cause the tick chart to pause by issuing a wait command?

Hello mmulloy,

We do not have a wait command in EFS. An execution of an EFS is triggered once for each historical bar and then once for each tick in real time. What you can do that might help is tell your formula to do nothing until it reaches a certain bar index during the loading process.

function main() {
    if (getCurrentBarIndex() < -200) return;
    ....
    .... 

This would prevent your study from processing any instructions until it is 200 bars from the most current bar, or bar 0.

A tick chart is not necessarily just a 1 tick chart but could be 100, 500 (or any other number) tick chart in which case OHLC can have different values just like with minute based charts
