Tomasz, Currently I have one main chart open as visible with just one pane. I also have 3 other chart windows open on upper tabs, but not always visible. My intention is to have up to 4 additional minimized charts running in the background on different timeframes to provide timed refresh AFL calculations that will be used by the main chart.
However, since I can only run on one database at the lowest common resolution, and since I will not be displaying charts from the minimized charts, I might find that I can do everything in one minimized chart by using the timeframe functions of AFL. If AB can use different cores to run different charts in parallel, then I would explore the 4 minimized charts as possibly giving better performance by breaking more indicators into parallel processes. My AFL program flow: 1. Calculate reference indicator arrays (most which could be done in parallel) 2. Combine reference indicators to make multiple trading systems (each which could be done in parallel) 3. Combine trading systems into a single Buy, Sell, Short, Cover trade signal generation system Vision for future -- my max layout: 3 chart windows open and visible, 1-2 panes each. 1-8 charts minimized just for parallel process AFL calculations. (depends on the number of cores available on the machine) >From studies about real time decisions: more than 6 inputs into a decision >hampers the ability to make a timely decision. Since I am trading just the ES. My AFL needs to combine all indicators down to a max of 6 inputs for me to base an immediate trade. Having more than 6 visible charts/indicators would be counter productive. Best case is of course that AFL figures everything out and there is no decision for me to make. Real time trading is rarely so cut and dry though. The larger context usually has to be taken into consideration to filter out certain trades for the best trading performance.
