Common Issues & FAQ

Q: My spreadsheet is slow. What can I do? A: Use the RecordCount parameter to limit data. Instead of all bars, request only what you need (e.g., last 50 bars).

Q: How often does it update? A: Updates occur automatically during market hours, typically every few seconds.

Q: Can I use this for multiple symbols? A: Yes, but each dynamic function uses resources. Limit usage for better performance.
