I've read through the help topic of Intraday Data Storage Time Unit http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_DataSourceSettings.php&CAID=#IntradayStorageUnit but would like to verify the following:

The questions below relate to when receiving live/realtime data.

1.
Does this setting have any influence on how a bar/candlestick is being build. With a higher setting (e.g. 10s), will ticks be missing in building the current bar?

2.
When using only time based bar periods and the smallest timeframe used would be 11s, would a setting of 10s be recommended?

3.
With a setting of 10s, would it be possible to use a 1 tick chart?

4.
With a setting of 10s, would the Volume study show the same numbers as with a setting of 1 tick (in Intraday Data Storage Time Unit)? Would here be a difference between live data and backfill data?

5.
Will this setting have any influence on Market Depth and Time and Sales?
