Problem with studies changing after close

[GREEZEE]

I have noticed something recently.

I have 3 advanced chart windows open (10 min, 5 min, 1 min). The problem is when a 10 min bar closes (i.e. the current time is 9:11 AM, the 9:10 bar should be closed I would think). Even after I think that all the values for all my chart studies should be static up to that 9:10 bar, I notice chart study values still changing (i.e. Stochastics, Williams %R, RSI, etc)

Am I missing something here? Should this be happening?

I'm wondering if maybe I don't understand the creation of the time bars correctly.

If I see a 9:10 (10 min interval) bar. Did it START at 9:10 or did it END at 9:10?

After I went back and replayed a tickfile, I now understand that a 9:10 bar STARTS at 9:10 and actually closes at 9:19:59.

Am I correct? (if so, that explains my earlier stupid post)

Is it possible to have the time be the close of the bar instead?

With regards to the question in your first message studies will update continuously unless they are set to compute on the close of a bar only. This option can be applied either locally to a specific study or globally to all studies.
As to your second question eSignal timestamps a bar with the time at the beginning of an interval ie in a 10 min chart the 9:10 bar covers the period between 9:10:00 to 9:19:59. As far as I know it is not possible to change the timestamp.

You say that I can have a study compute on close (per study or globally). Where do I find that setting?

To set an individual efs to compute on close only you need to add a setComputeOnClose(); statement in the preMain section of the script.
To set all studies to compute on close select Tools->EFS->Settings... in the main menu and put a check in Make all formulas compute on close(rather..
