Postby rokanten » 05 Oct 2020

Hello rokanten,

Basic information about the supported data types is provided here.

The smaller resolution you set, the more bars (more information) shall be processed by MultiCharts and your script. E.g. loading daily data from start of the year is faster than loading minute data for the same period (or building daily bars from minute data).

As for Bar Magnifier, MultiCharts needs to get the missing precise data to calculate your signal, i.e. download the data from the data provider or unfold the data, if it already exists in the database.
