Tick-by-tick vs not?

Hi, Does anyone know what frequency of data PRT uses if you don’t select tick-by-tick? eg If I’m using Daily with a stop loss how often is it checking the price with tick-by-tick unselected during a backtest?

Only when the bar closes, in this case once a day, and it always assumes that, in case both SL and TP have been hit on the same, TP is the first one to be hit, which is not always true and it’s the reason that option was added.
