Hello, Zach, I’m afraid, this method is not suitable for MultiCharts, as tick cache feature doesn’t let studies to skip ticks.

RetracePct - minimum percentage difference between swing points to plot.

Usually the suitable value is from 0 to 1.

Hello, Johannes,

When you compile a study applied to a chart, it is not removed from the chart, that’s why initial settings are applied.
