Daily candlestick strategies

[MatHatter]

Hi NinjaTrader Community,

I am interested in knowing if you have experience with DAILY CANDLESTICK STRATEGIES, do you just use BARONCLOSE() rather than ever doing BARONUPDATE() with BarsInProgress and else if (State == State.Configure)
{
Calculate = Calculate.OnPriceChange;
IsExitOnSessionCloseStrategy = false;
// Add a 1-tick series for intra-bar granularity
AddDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Tick, 1);}...?

I ask because when going about it not BARONCLOSE() it is extremely slow as it is processing a lot more data. SO do you just make strategies that identify the pattern or trade execution based on the triggers and always have trade executed the NEXT TRADE DAY?

See ideally, I wanted to trade on the market open and buy that day's market open/limit price if it was greater than the day before or whatever... but as I mentioned it is way more time to run thus it is not even practical at all and YOU ALWAYS USE BARONCLOSE() for DAILY CANDLESTICK STRATEGIES.

Thanks,

Mathew
