  • External interval efs study does not update

    The following code is a modified Bollinger Band efs study that uses external intervals. It seems to (not tested enough, though) work fine if it’s applied on a chart with one or two additional efs loaded but with my current setup the code stops updating. It also messes up all other charts with the same interval and instrument. That is, for example all GBP/USD 5 min contract charts cease updating, both the study and price data. Shifting back and forth through different timeframes and back again to the original sometimes corrects the situation but only temporarily.

    Is it an efs or the eSignal application issue? I currently use ver. 10.3

    This issue occurrs in some cases with versions 10.2 and 10.3 and is resolved in version 10.4
