Strategy Performance / Bar Magnifier

When back-testing or optimizing with the bar magnifier on, you get finer fill granularity and gain greater certainty that stop and targets are hit in the correct order. Excellent feature!

However, when reviewing the Strategy Performance -> Trade List, with magnifier on, the entry and exit times of stops and targets are still being reported as open/close of the large bar, not the actual time being hit per the bar magnifier resolution.

Is this a bug, over-site or a feature?

Hello lavalampmj,

This is expected behavior.
Order time in the report depends on the chart resolution.
The report time is rounded. For example:
order filled at 11:57:15 will appear in report as 11:58:00 - for minute resolution
11:57:15 = 11:58:30 - for 30sec resolution
11:57:15 = 11:57:15 - for tick resolution if such bar time is present on the chart.

OK understood.

As an enhancement, you might wish to consider using the most granular data available in the generation of statistics, as this makes the stats' more accurate. This is especially important if the data1 series are large, like daily bars for example. It is useful to know when stops and targets are hit within the larger bar's period.

Thanks for your consideration.
