Will a chart study check every tick?

I have a custom study (the bot) that checks a custom study on each of 21 charts (the oscillators). On the smallest charts, such as a 5 tick chart, I often see a signal go by, but the bot doesn't seem to catch it. So, I want to understand how this is working in SC.

Should a study be checking every single tick that goes through the market, or is there a set time that the chart must wait before allowing another tick to be processed by a study?

If there is a time that a chart must wait before processing a tick, is there a way to have a study on a chart (or, that chart entirely) to process every tick, while other charts (big charts) not have to process every tick?
