Post From: Replay Back Testing Single Chart Vs Multiple Chart

I'm running a test on triggering buy/sell on a crossover using 1 Tick intraday data. I have two methods here.

1) I run replay on a Single Chart using Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode.

2) I run replay on All Charts using Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode where there's 2 charts in total. One chart has a Study/Price overlay from the other.

Method 2 which has 2 charts run significantly fast than Method 1. We are talking about a few times faster. I also notice that with Method 2, the entries and exists are done on the close of a bar instead of within a bar which tick by tick calculations should do. So it just seems like tick by tick data is only used when I use a Single chart and isn't used when I'm running multiple charts.

Is running back testing with multiple charts not using tick by tick data?

Thanks.
