===[http://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/Signal_Settings| Intra-Bar Order Generation] mode enabled===
* Backtesting with bar Magnifier enabled attempts to execute orders only on OHLC prices of the detailed data series. MultiCharts acts as if there were no other prices in-between (between O and H, between H and L etc.). Therefore the signal is calculated at least 4 times times on one bar (4 * number of details series bars + Open and Close of the main series). I.e. if the Bar Magnifier is set to 1 minute on a 5 minute chart, the signal will be calculated up to 22 times (4 * 5 +2) per bar.
* In Data Playback mode (as well as in real-time calculation) MultiCharts tries to execute orders on every tick that is received, on Close price. I.e. if the Bar Magnifier is set to 1 minute on a 5 minute chart, the signal will be calculated only 5 times per bar.
