    I have a 5min bar chart and I watch the trades on bid/ask i.e. look at the bar footprint/volume profile. Then based on some criteria I make a trade, not on bar close but intrabar. I would like to code and back test this strategy.

    I can't figure out how to do this with MC, am using CQG/Multichart.Net Special Ed 9.1, the historical bar footprint/profile doesn't update on every tick but at some interval for some reason.

    Does anyone know?

    Thanks
