That sounds like something that might be correctable. Would have to see the code.

@mk77ch, usually if you've come to the forum for assistance it is nice to post your finished code for review. May I request you post the final version?
I had a quick look at the indicator. It is a linear weighted moving average further smoothed with a simple moving average. The StdDev bands use a peculiar formula. I have therefore slightly modified them.
The modified indicator is attached.
I have compared the loading times of the indicator from post #16 and the indicator attached on a 15 min chart with a lookback period of 1 year.
mkGoldBands: loading in 60 seconds
anaGoldBands: loading in 2 seconds
The problem here is the number of draw objects that was used. mkGoldBands uses 1 draw object per bar, while anaGoldBands uses fewer larger draw objects. The difference in speed is not linked to the modified formula for the standard deviation.
