Post From: Time unit significance for backtesting

Hi,

I have an intraday 15-min chart with an ACSIL trading study. (Single chart chartbook)
I have set the "Intraday Data Storage Tme Unit" in "Data/Trade Data Service Settings" to 1 min

Do you think will have any difference changing this value to 30 sec, or lower (or even 1 Tick) in my backtest results?

The idea was that due to the signals in the study being set only at the bar close (that is, every 15 min) I should NOT have different results.
Is this correct?
Or the smaller the time unit, the better the accuracy in any timeframe?
