Hi John -- AmiBroker is very efficient. If you are doing ordinary calculations on a watchlist of 150 tickers, 3 minutes is a very long time to wait for them to complete. When in Formula Editor, pull down the menu next to the "Analysis" "!" and click "Check". One of the things you will see is a profile showing relative execution times for the components of your system. See if anything looks suspicious. You might also try loading fewer tickers -- just slightly more than the number you need to have all your calculations properly initialized.
