This would be true if your trade occurred within those two seconds.
But even more seconds would be useful to keep your system
calculations accurate.
For example, missing ticks could change the results of some
calculation and cause a faulty signal sometime later.
Two seconds is probably a lot more buffering than you need unless you
are actively using the machine for other things.
