Can EFS execution be set to every second

[snapper]

Hi there,

Is there some code I can use to force my EFS studies to execute every second rather that every tick - I can not use "compute on close" as the studues run on a multitude of timeframes from 1 min upwards and executing every minute or 15 mins does not meet the needs of the logic.

Having multiple EFS studies executing every tick is placing too high a load on the system so I really need to slow them down if possible.

I am running these applications on Forex charts as part of an automated trading strategy

Thanks

Hello snapper,

We don't have a method to force the formula to only execute on a set timer. Without using setComputeOnClose(), the formula will execute on each trade by default. However, you could prevent your code in main() from processing on each trade using getBarStateInterval(). Try adding the following line of code to the top of main().

function main() {
    if (getBarStateInterval("1S") != BARSTATE_NEWBAR) return;


} 

The rest of your formula code should not require any changes. What the above will do is exit main on this line unless the 1S bar is at BARSTATE_NEWBAR. Your formula will still be executed on each trade but only allows the rest of your formula code to process once per second.
