During historic calculation MultiCharts .NET emulates the movement within the bar, tick by tick, upon which the order can be filled. The emulation of the price movement within the bar, by default, is executed with the '''[[Intra-bar Price Movement Assumptions]]''', upon all possible ticks.
In this window you can select by tick, by second, by minute or by day for greater precision.

In Bar Magnifier mode, it is considered that there are no ticks between the detailed resolution ticks.
