Great work Radar! I did look at the built-in functions, but I had some difficulties getting it to work with 3 dimensions, probably a mistake on my part or because of the way in which I work with different time frames. I don't update the whole array each time, so the dimension for timeframe PERIOD_M15 gets updated only once every 15 minutes etc. If I shifted the PERIOD_H1 data each time I shifted PERIOD_M15 the data would get skewed. I am not holding much data or the regular shuffling would be very inefficient. It would have been simpler to keep the different timeframes in different arrays. Also one can use a circular index and circular buffer so that the data never needs to be shuffled if the arrays are fixed sized. If I was able to use objects and pass objects by reference none of this half cocked array management would be required Speed is a major aspect as I cannot wait an hour per each 12 month back-test. If the back-test completes in 30 seconds then I am confident that the real-time response is adequate. The built in functions will definitely be faster for large amounts of data. |

I've tried to reply to this a few times, and each time, my mind went totally blank... Which just shows that this is way above my level of experience in planning, coding, and comprehending other people's code Looks like I've got a lot of reading to do, as well as quite a lot of practise Have fun!
