Hello,
- In the visualization of the bars in a graph, you will not appreciate any difference, since in a 1minute bar it only has the OHLC data (Open, High, Low, Close).
- On the other hand, if you use this data to backtest a strategy, you will appreciate a difference, since in the body a 1min bar you do not know how it was formed (in what price order), and with the resolution of ticks you can.
I.E. a 1min bar from 2780 to 2790, you will not know if the price first reached 2782 or 2786, you only know what happened, but not in what order. With data in ticks if you can know in what order, which directly influences the results of a backtest of a strategy
Best Regards,
