From the documentation, a study function is called at each Chart Update Interval, whenever an update has been flagged.

It appears that the update interval can be as small as 1 millisecond, but can SC really work at that speed?

In other words, can I use SC for a trading system that should react within 1 millisecond to some input from the market?

The minimum update interval is more like about 10-15 milliseconds. If you need 1ms reaction, you need to use this interface:
