..talk about adding 1-tick granularity to provide accuracy.
So which is it? Can a backtest process on 1-tick basis, or only at the close of each bar?
Also, for adding 1-tick processing, some posts like...

...mention "add a 1 tick series and submit your stop loss and profit target to this series"...as if simply setting the order fill processing to "High; Tick; 1" is not enough.
Is the need to "add a series and submit targets to it" just out of date information?
How does one get the most accurate real-world results in backtest?
