Hey Guys!

I am trying to get a deeper understanding of both the historical and live data and how it impacts limit orders. 

If I set the equity I want to trade to minute resolution "self.AddEquity(self.ticker, Resolution.Minute)" and then I were to enter into long position with a limit order to take profit. Will this limit order be triggered when the new minute data bar closes on or above the limit order or would it be triggered on tick basis the moment the limit order is touched i.e. I assume with minute resolution, a bar is formed on the minute, every minute. Could the limit order be triggered say, 23seconds into a minute bar if at that point the limit order price is touched or would the limit order only be triggered when the minute bar closes on or above the limit order? 

Hopefully that makes sense. Any help is hugely appreciated,

Seb
