Let's say I have two charts Chart A and Chart B Chart is of 60mins and Chart B is of 240 mins, If I am looking for a crossover in Chart B, and then taking trade in Chart A. I use sc.GetNearestMatchForDateTime to get the respective index from chart A to Chart B. After referencing when I use the Chart B data, Will I get running Candle Details from Chart B or closed candle For Example, when back testing, 4 Chart A Candles make 1 Chart B Candle when I want to take trade on my 2nd Candle in Chart A, I fetch something from Chart B. let's say I get High price of the Candle from Chart B, will I get the High Price of the closed Candle or the running candle. I am not sure if I am making myself clear but let's look at it this way Chart A t1 - Open : 1 High : 2 t2 - Open :2 Close :3 t3 - Open 3 Close 4 t4 - Open 4 Close 5 Chart B t1-t4 : Open 1 Close 5 Now When I am fetching Close Price from both Chart A and Chart B at t2 from Chart A I'll get 3 What will I get from Chart B? 3 or 5? All of this when I am backtesting |

Then How am I supposed to replay them in sync, If I replay all charts will they replay in sync?

It asks me some processing speed in seconds, what is that?

Yes, that is the idea. It asks me some processing speed in seconds, what is that?
