Are all ticks used when backtesting in SC? (This is assuming I have tick data showing every single Bid, Ask and Last tick.) For example: 1. Does SC use Bid ticks and Ask ticks when backtesting? Or does it just use Last ticks? 2. Does SC use the real Ticks that happened within a bar when backtesting? Or does SC create fake ticks (like Metatrader) within a bar to fill in the gaps between the bar's Open, High, Low and Close when backtesting? 3. Does SC show a trade closed at the actual tick's price within a bar that activated a Stoploss or Takeprofit when backtesting? Or will SC just show the trade closed at the Open, High, Low or Close of a bar if a stoploss or takeprofit was activated within a bar? Thanks!
