Say I want to check the general trend of a stock, can I simply use moving averages with Resolution.Daily, while using minute resolution for my other indicators and in OnData, or must I consolidate 390 minutes to create daily bars and register the indicator? What would be the effect of using two resolutions? For consolidating in general, is it also necessary to use a bar handler, or can I just create the consolidator and register an indicator with it?

Hi Jack
You may just use Resolution.Daily in the MA indicators while others using minute, as your data has resolution finer than that. Refer to this doc for implementation. If you're not intended to do anything when the consolidated bar was received, you don't need a handler for that.
