Likliehood of new tick interrupting EA
ququr
The EA will complete its cycle before it will see any new ticks. I have read some were that theres a way to time the the run of the code but would have to find it again. Look are the help files under the date and time functions theres a function you can use to count the millseconds of runtime.

Is it possible for a new tick to interrupt an EA already in progress? If possible, is it probable?
If an EA is running and a new tick comes in, is the original run cut off and a new run started, or does it complete the execution of the first run first?
If the new tick will cause the first run to be cut short, and start a new run for the newest-arriving-tick, how likley is that? Are execution times so fast that a new tick would rarely come quicker than an EA would finish running? Is there a way to clock total execution time for an EA (print statement at the end? if so, is there a way to fire a print and time stamp at start and another at the end?).
Probably a silly question, but it's the sort of thing that has me worried when it pops in my head.
