Hi,
  something happened with the last releases of SF5 and when I open a layout now  only are calculated the indicators of the firts tab. The indicators of the rest of the tabs are not calculated again when I click on these tabs.

  Any suggestion?. Thx.

When you switch tabs, your calculations should occur.  Items that are not visible will not calculate until they are visible again.   Do they not calculate when you switch tabs? If not, can you share the layout with us?

Will pinned items in the visible chart calculate while pinned or do they have to be actually visible?

Pinned items will not calculate either. This is the same as version 4.

You know, what the user makes visible on the screen is a function of what she wants to see right now, and how big the thing needs to be to see it well.  IOW, visibility relates primarily to screen real-estate and actual immediate need.

When the user wants something calculated has to do with how often and how much resources (e.g. CPU) can be spared for the item(s), and whether or not the item(s) needs to be instantly available  and up-to-date (potential immediate need), or not.   Note:  instantly available .neq. visible .

I see this as a post-beta issue, but I also see this as a MAJOR issue. 

If Worden believes that one-size-fits-all nosee-nocalc is the "right" choice for SF functionality, then I respectfully challenge that belief. 

If the merits of choice here are not obvious (and I think they should be, but that's just me), please consult the community in a well-labelled, open-minded two-way discussion as to whether flexibility in this area would be preferable to rigidity, or not.  Thx.

If one of the pinned items is reference in a real code indicator, will the value be available and calculated when the real code is calculated?

Yes if your pinned or hidden item is referenced by something that is visible, then it will be calculated.

Kuf,

Unfortunately that is not working for me. I have MA's of Volume on the volume pane that are referenced by conditions on the Price History pane. These will not calculate unless I unpin the volume pane. Once they have calculated I can then pin the pane. I don't know if they will update after that with the pane pinned.

What are the conditions and how are you using them (painting, scanning, true markers?)

Calculation errors are often related to missing 

'# Cumulative 

lines in the code and are reflected in bad watchlist column values. If you are seeing errors with column values then just add the above line to your code.
