Backtesting Resolution

I am looking for details on the Backtesting Resolution setting in
Strategy Properties.

It seems to be meant as a sort of Look-Inside-Bar function but it
doesn't seem to do anything.

For example, I take a set of tick data, chart it, set compression to 1
minute and set Backtesting Resolution to 1 tick.  This appears to be
meant to calculate my strategy on tick data and display on the minute
chart.

Is that what it's meant to do?

However, an average that my strategy calculates spits out values
identical to the same average calculated against the Close values of the
minute bars.  That is, it doesn't do what it looks like it's meant to.

Thanks Ian
