execute a tick by tick method?

[franatas]

If I have a strategy that is calculated candle by candle how do I execute a tick by tick method?

Hello franatas,

If your strategy uses OnBarClose but you want to use OnEachTick while still maintaining OnBarClose logic you would need to set the script to use OnEachTick and the use a condition to know when bars close. IsFirstTickOfBar can be used for that purpose.

but there is nothing to manage it in reverse? make it OnBarClose and something that allows you to calculate on tick

Hello franatas,

OnBarClose is only going to close for each bar, if you want to do something OnEachTick you would need to use OnEachTick processing. You can still simulate OnBarClose processing by using the IsFirstTickOfBar variable. You would execute your logic during the first tick which is the same tick that calls OnBarClose processing.
