    Calculate on each tick not actually calculating on each tick

    Im trying to run some backtests and noticed that no matter if I put "Calculate.OnEachTick", "Calculate.OnBarClose", or "Calculate.OnPriceChange", It is always calculating at the same rate. I made a test strategy to show this. The attached pictures show that its supposed to calculate on each tick, and it just outputs the time. The next picture shows the output, where you can see that minutes pass between each test. This is running on the ES so there are obviously faster ticks.

    EDIT: I figured out that its because Im running it on a 2000 tick chart and the chart does not include intrabar data. So then my question is how can I make the code update on each tick but show and run it on a 2000 tick chart.

    Hello kazisl,

    You are showing the State.SetDefaults which are only pulled for new instances of strategies.

    Are you setting Calculate in the Strategy parameters for the existing configured instance in the Strategies window?
