The purpose is to clarify expected behavior/logic in YOUR software. Who else shall i ask?? Being new to SC (its internal data structures, ACSIL, etc),i need to know what needs to be coded around and what comes "out of the box"! That's why! Assuming automatic looping and evaluation of system logic/order submission on "bar close" (Autoloop=1) AND using True 5-sec bars: - when will SC technically "close the bar"? - when will SC submit orders - "on close of bar" or "opening tick" (what will that be with 5-sec bars?) of new bar? I tried to test in an IB's Paper trading environment. And saw True bars arriving with a 15sec delay and orders submitted also with appr. same delay. Today, I saw in Live that there is no delay in arrival of these bars..Hence my questions. *You wasted more time on a verbose reply without giving an answer, instead of 5-10 helpful words. |
