Hi,
I assume this is possible although I've read through the documentation and forum but can't find a concise answer. Using EMA as an example can you point me in the right direction of how to set it to have a resolution of 14 minutes but for the indicator to be updated on each tick (the security in the algorithim would be set to to tick resolution).
Thanks!

Please checkout the QuantConnect University example "Moving Average Cross".
In order to get minute EMA indicator updated with tick resolution data, we need to change the following lines in the Initialize method.
// request SPY data with tick resolution AddSecurity(SecurityType.Equity, Symbol, Resolution.Tick); // create a 15 minute exponential moving average fast = EMA(Symbol, 15, Resolution.Minute); // create a 30 minute exponential moving average slow = EMA(Symbol, 30, Resolution.Minute);
Since we are now working with tick resolution the OnData event handler must have the following signature:
public void override OnData(Slice data) { // } // or public void OnData(TradeBars data) { // }
