Could you clarify a bit more: one custom indicator on 700 symbols
each with a daily bar interval, sorted every 1.5 minute -- are the
daily bars Updated Every Tick (see indicator property sheet)? Or
else the daily data would not change during the market session and
there would not be a need for sorting them frequently. 700 most
active symbols updated every tick would be a very intensive
computing activity, comparable to 700 symbols each on a 1 tick bar
interval (without charting overheads). I am impressed by the fact
that your hardware can keep up. That would be the dream of
scanning the whole market real time coming true, leaping beyond
the hardware obstacle! Am I misunderstanding something? Anyone is
welcome to correct my understanding of RS.

What's the size of your array? You loop thru it, right? What's the
memory use as seen in NT task manager?

I think you will underestimate how helpful and to how many
interested people your info is!
