MC plots a 100 ticks chart and a signal is applied which has the following line:
if time_s = 093000 then
buy at market;
1) Will the signal be generated at 093000 even if the current bar does not have 100 ticks yet? If not, will it be eventually generated when 100 ticks are collected no matter what time it is?
2) What if IntrabarOrderGeneration is on?
Can someone clearly distinguish all possible scenarios?
what if time-based signal on non-time based chart?

If 093000 is the time of the current bar, then:MC plots a 100 ticks chart and a signal is applied which has the following line:

If IOG is disabled, the order (since it's a 'buy at market order') the signal will be generated on the next bar.1) Will the signal be generated at 093000 even if the current bar does not have 100 ticks yet?

A tick with the 093000 timestamp arrives and the order is sent on the next tick.2) What if IntrabarOrderGeneration is on?
