I have used EL and MQL4 to program trading strategies, they have different ways of evaluating the strategy:

EL's strategy is evaluated realtime after each finished bar, and the order can only be executed on the next bar's open price.

MQL4's strategy is evaluated by a main loop for all the bars on the chart.

Question for the Jforex strategy: How is each strategy evaluated? Is it evaluated on each finished bar, or it is evaluated on each generated tick?

JForex offers the designer the choice to choose which, or both, implementation to use. You can put your algorithm in onTick() or onBar() methods.
