ADD additional time frame question

[ct]

Scenario:
I have a strategy, it doesn't place orders but it does ADD several additional time frames of the primary chart market instrument. This strategy was created years ago at a time when only a strategy could add additional time frames on Ninja. There is only one instrument on the chart.

Question: Why when I ADD a time frame does the Control Center say "Loading data..." for that instrument. The data for that instrument should already be loaded and current for the "days to load" and end date of the chart.

Details:
I am only ADDing specifying the time frame and type, no instrument is specified on the ADD.
I am using Continuum data feed. I don't think it used to do that on Zenfire but not 100% sure.
I created a separate chart with more days back to see if that would have any effect but no difference.

Reasoning: I scan or flip though multiple markets looking a good setup and there is additional lag in switching from one market to the another that I don't believe should be there.

Hi ct, what I would expect when you switch NT is the current day always being reloaded. To facilitate and speed up scanning, I would load your instruments of interest in the MA and add any indcator in, so you're pulling in data. Now switching over should be done quicker.

Bertrand the MA with a indicator seems to have done the trick. It is instantaneous now.

You are a star!
