Description

Expected Behavior

Users can choose the allowable latency of bar releases, to balance between perfectness of the bars, vs latency on the bar release.

Actual Behavior

Release delays hard coded.
Minute bars may not line up with third party sites that are displaying historical theoretical values not live bar aggregations.

Potential Solution

Add a dictionary of AllowableLatency<Resolution, int> setting to AlgorithmSettings and respect it.

Research direction

Start by locating AlgorithmSettings and the code where live feed bars use hard-coded release delays. Trace how resolution-specific latency should affect bar releases, then verify that the configured values are respected and that bars align with the intended live-feed behavior.
