I sent this message to Kim Horn regarding HashNums:
"Many thanks for your thoughtful and informative reply. After careful
reconsideration and testing, I must apologize to everyone for my misleading
statement. Specifically, when I wrote "You still might find it practical if
you plan to pass values back and forth once or with one IncludeSystem
Statement but after that Good Luck." I have looked carefully at my code and
realized that using arrays they way I do results in manipulating the
variables stored in HashNums several hundred if not several thousand times
per bar, not once or twice.
Using HashNums with arrays like I describe above does however slow things
down considerably. I have two .ela files: one is called TestHN (HashNums
array) and the other TestTS (TS array). They are identical in every respect
except one stores variables to HashNums and the other to a TS array.
Applied to a daily chart of some 70 bars the TestHN system loads in 8
seconds and the TestTS loads in 1 sec. Applied to a RT chart of some 6,500
bars the TestHN system loads in 22 sec. and the TestTS loads in 8 sec.
However, these two files only represent maybe one-fifth of the total code I
want to use. I think processing more array data will slow things down even
more considerably."
Regards,
Mark.
