I'm guessing but I'd imagine it's the case that whatever the time period selected on a chart, NT7 does the calculations in seconds.
For example, I'd guess that NT7 sees 60 mins as '3600 secs' and '6m Is' as '3601 secs' and calculates accordingly.
The reason for saying this is that I'm considering using 'non-standard' time periods (mainly so I can be out of synch with other traders and not trade when they trade).
My question is this: does NT7 calculate 3601 second bars with as much 'efficiency' as 60m bars bars? Or is there indeed a CPU load advantage of using the standard bars?
It's just a question of getting those trades out there as rapidly as possible.
Thanks in advance for any help with this.
