MC Randomize history data by TICK

There are two recently added MC retest modes, “Randomize history data (by tick)” and “Modified randomize history data (by tick).”

For backtest precision, we can only select STO or 1 min simulation. What does each tick signify in this case?

Hola,

you can additional “tick” precision once the main data used for backtesting is tick data (not 1-minute)

Thank you Tomas, I see it now. Another question though: The Java snippet (MC Max change as a % of tick price changes) says ‘This option is supposed to work best with Selected Timeframe precision’.

Is this done to reduce computation time, or was the MC test specifically designed for STO precision?
