Run Script on Command

[JP48]

I've got a script that runs but takes a lot of time to run. I don't need it to continuously update, in fact don't want it to use today's data, just the past five days. Is there a way to not have it continuously update but only run through once when I want it to?

Thanks.

Nope...!!! If you want it to display it has to calculate, otherwise it won't display anything... Post your script and perhaps we can figure out a way to optimize it for you...

Below is the script I'm using with the long calc times.

What I eventually want to do is have a watch list column that reports on Stochastic Slow and CCI crossings. I have a script that seems to do well with the Stochastic but the CCI is the problem right now.

I tried to find other scripts using CCI but the one I found seems to calculate the CCI not just go and get the result from the CCI study. Can that be done and if so what is the syntax to access the CCI?

Thanks,

Jim
