No it is not correct.
Depending on settings (Tools->Preferences->Intraday
"Real time chart refresh interval") the formula may be executed
in different (user-defined) intervals.
Special case - real time chart refresh interval = 0 (zero)
- means "as often as possible". Exact timing depends on
a) complexity of the formula
b) number of charts open
c) CPU power
d) whenever new ticks arrive or not.
Assuming that new ticks arrive constantly, and the formula takes less than 0.1 sec
to execute, RT formulas in charts can be executed upto 5 times per second
(so it is every 0.2 sec). It is actually faster than IB deliers data (they send new data every 0.3 sec).
