Like a
lot of MetaStock programmers, I tend to calculate several values in each of
my buy/sell/short/cover scenarios. Most of these calculations are the
same. For instance, I may need a 20-day moving average of volume in each
statement. Or I may calculate the total range (max high minus min
low) over 20 days, etc.

My
concern is the amount of time wasted to recalculate these things four
times. This is not a new concern. It is one that I have had since
1986 and probably two million optimizations have gone under the bridge since
then.

In
TradeStation, I am able to ensure that such calculations are done only
once. After 17 years of using MetaStock, I still don't know a way to
do it in MS. Perhaps MS is smart enough to know that it has already
calculated the 20-day moving average of volume and won't do it
again?

Any
insights on this problem/opportunity would be appreciated. I don't want to
wait another 17 years to find out that I could have saved thousands of hours of
CPU time.
