Best Practice for Actions Outside of OnBarUpdate

[DogEars]

Hi,

If I have a chart setup for 5 minutes what's the right way to check for something on every tick vs. the onbarupdate. Is it using MarketData method or is there another way?

Thanks.

Hi DogEars, thanks for your post.

We have a full example here showing how to filter logic between OnEachTick and OnBarClose. The idea is to run the strategy OnEachTick and check for IsFirstTickOfBar, and run the "OnBarClose" code there and run the "OnEachTick" code outside of that condition.
