Post From: Can ASCIL be event driven?

It is not clear to me what you mean by an event. I assume you are referring to the change in status of some entity. Or perhaps input from some external application?

1. Can you build event driven strategies with ASCIL?
AFAIK, the answer is No. Custom Studies are called in a round robin fashion based on the the chart update interval and if new data has arrived. Studies then query the data feed and other structures as inputs and decide what to do next.

2. Is 10 ms the lowest latency ASCIL can offer?
According to the docs 10ms is the lowest setting. You CPU may have difficulty at this setting, especially with complex studies.

3. Would a custom strategy using the DTC protocol be the obvious idea, if I really need something event driven?
That is what Sierra Chart recommends: General Settings Window: Chart Update Interval (Global Settings >> General Settings >> General >> Update Intervals)
