=== Generate orders within a bar ===
<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">The following settings are available in MultiCharts 15 Open Beta.</div>
 
You can allow the signal to generate orders intrabar on specific events.
 
* '''On every tick''' option allows the signal to generate orders on every tick in real time or on the OHLC values on historical data. Please note that if this option is enabled, the strategy will be calculated every tick which might influence the overall performance. <br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note:''' This option is not supported in Portfolio Trader.</div>
* '''On timer''' option allows the signals to generate orders based on the timer event generated by the [[RecalcLastBarAfter]] keyword. The script will be calculated by the timer in any case, regardless of this checkbox. But orders generated by this calculation will be sent only if the option is enabled.
* '''On mouse click event''' option allows the signal to generate orders on a mouse click event generated by the [[ProcessMouseEvents]] keyword. The script will be calculated by the click event in any case, regardless of this checkbox. But orders generated by this calculation will be sent only if the option is enabled. <br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note:''' In Portfolio Trader there is a separate column to process mouse clicks during Forward testing or Real-time Auto Trading.</div>
* '''With Close button in Portfolio Trader''' option allows the signal to generate orders by closing the position in the Portfolio Trader. The script will be calculated by closing the position in any case, regardless of this checkbox. But orders generated by this calculation will be sent only if the option is enabled.
 
 
=== Generate orders on broker events ===
You can allow the signal to generate orders intrabar on specific broker events.<br>
First you need to enable the calculation on specific broker events in Format → Strategy properties. For more info please refer to [[Auto Trading#Recalculate on Broker Events|this page]]. <br>Then you can enable the orders to be sent intrabar on these events:
* '''Market Position Change''' option allows the signal to generate orders when a market position at the broker changes.
* '''Order Filled''' option allows the signal to generate orders when the auto trading system fills an order.
* '''Order Rejected''' option allows the signal to generate orders when an order sent by the auto trading system is rejected.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note:''' If no checkboxes are enabled here, the strategy will be recalculated, but it will place no new orders intrabar.</div>
<br><div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">Tip: To use these settings as default for the selected signal, check '''Use as Default''' check box.</div>
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: Allowing multiple same-direction entry orders in the '''Position Limits''' section of '''Strategy Properties''' window will not override the above settings.</div>
