Post subject:  ontick/oncandle startpoint

Hi,

i have questions to ontick and oncandle startpoint.

When i use ontick startpoint and after this the indicator SMA10 with 30 min period and shift = 0. Will there be different values for the SMA10 every tick or will I get for every tick the same values and only for a new 30 min candle there will be a new value.
How will an if-Filter for example, lastcandleperiod = 1 min, after ontick startpoint change the results and what would be the difference to an if-Filter lastcandleperiod = 1 min after oncandle startpoint?

Thank you very much for your help.

-I think it's a yes. You can simply drag out the sma10's output on the page then running the strategy and visually seeing the dynamic value changing in every tick. It's a good characteristic of VJF.

Hello

Q: When i use ontick startpoint and after this the indicator SMA10 with 30 min period and shift = 0. Will there be different values for the SMA10 every tick or will I get for every tick the same values and only for a new 30 min candle there will be a new value.
A: Yes, it will be recalculated on every new tick. As last candle changes, it will generate a little different result.
