Indicators: The computer time resolution
Can you further explain how is this important?
I mean, it is what it is, what the broker provides.
How can this change anything?
We can't improve execution, cz it's not up to us, only to the broker.
A Market Maker with only 1 liquidity provider will, obviously, provide fewer ticks and with longer time between them.
Wheather the broker will fill our order at our price or not, is a completely different issue.
Measuring time won't improve anything.

We can't improve broker execution, but we can control our hardware performance. Each EA load CPU and RAM, notably if we use too many EA on weak VPS. Weak hardware can directly impact our expert performance, for example, tight trailing stop movement or copy positions between accounts.
Note regarding product description and DLL: Due to an issue where the main "The computer time resolution" description cannot be updated, I am leaving this important note here in the comments section:
This code utilizes a DLL associated with Scalper Positions Analyzer to collect tick data. Since MT4 lacks the native capability to capture and display tick-by-tick data on the chart, a DLL was required. However, because DLLs are prohibited in MetaTrader Market EAs, the DLL functionality was decoupled from Scalper Positions Analyzer and moved into an open-source component to maintain full operation while complying with Market rules.
The computer time resolution:
The indicator shows computer time resolution. Normally it is about 15-16 ms. This is important, for example, to copy positions from other MetaTrader 4.
