Maximize Calculation Speed should be de-selected. What it does is to
reduce the number of bars loaded to the absolute minimum required by the
Maxbarsback setting. That means if you are using any exponential average
and the minimum number of bars required is 2, then when the chart is
opened, only 2 bars will be loaded and the calculations performed. Since
exponentials take some time to settle down, you will get very different
results than if you load a lot of bars. That is why you should not use
this setting.
