If you want to change the recalculation frequency to every tick for this cart and not as a change
to global settings, then clear the Using Global Settings button.
Recalculation
Since updating study bars can use a significant amount of processor capacity, you may want to
modify how often study bars are updated.
Choices include:
Recalculate on every tick: Updates on every tick. This frequency makes the most demands
on system resources and may produce values and signals that are meaningless until the bar is
completed.
Recalculate at end of bar (default): Updates when the current bar is completed. This
frequency makes the least demands on system resources.
Recalculate at first tick of bar and periodically: Updates on the first tick of every bar and
every number of seconds, which you set.
Note that you can manually update the bar by pressing the space bar. This is especially helpful
for bars that are displayed before they are finished (i.e. current bar).
