Bars formed in the strategy analyzer

02-23-2023, 02:45 AM

Hey guys. Question: when I run the strategy analyzer and set the chart to 1 minute or 60 seconds, is the bars formed from tick historical data or only OHCL? Connection is NinjaTrader Continuum. Where can I read about this in the manual? Is this a user configurable parameter?
Thank you.

Hello Kostiantyn,

With TickReplay disabled, 1 minute or 60 minutes bars are made with historical minute data.
Day, Week, Month bars are made with historical Day data.
Renko, Range, Second, Line Break, etc are made with historical tick data.

Below are links to the help guide.

If you are wanting intra-bar actions and order fills, see the post below about intra-bar granularity and TickReplay.
