How Script Works When Bar Magnifier Is Enabled

Postby dyp007 » 10 Jan 2015

Hi all,

I have some problems understanding "Bar Magnifier" when using signal.

How does the script work when IOG is enabled, Bar Magnifier is enabled and set to 1 tick on a 1 minute chart? I thought the script should run as many times as the total tick number, but the result shows that it is larger.

I know what happens when Bar Magnifier is set to 1 minute on a 5 minute bar from the wiki page:

, but have no idea about the setting of 1 tick.

Many thanks.
