Main Description

onCandle

This is one of the Start Points from where a strategy begins. The OnCandle is a method used in the background system to identify candle periods. It handles all candle periods from 10 seconds till monthly candles and this method will go through all of these periods (Bid and Ask sides) when no period specification is defined. Every time this start point is flashing a red color, it means that a new candle is formed and new data is retrieved.

Tips: click on the purple side bar to highlight the candle flow with the appropriate color. This helps to indentify connection source in case of strategies using large number of blocks.

On the following example (screenshot visible from the Helper), an IF block is used to filter out BID candles with 10 mn period.
