Hi,

Some of my watchlist columns that were either pre-built, created by me or otherwise provide "realtime" as an option and at other times, only "manual, 1 min, 5min, 60min, etc." are the only options.

When creating a new PCF, indicator saved from a chart, or any condition, what factors will ensure that "realtime" will show up as one of the refresh rate options  if I add either of those items as a column in a watchlist?

You usually won't get realtime to show up for formulas. The shortest refresh rate for formulas is usually going to be one minute and this refresh rate is going to depend on the speed of the formula. So a Very Slow formula is going to have a longer refresh rate than a Slow formula for example.

The fastest refresh rate available is also going to depend on complexity when clicking on indicators to add them as WatchList Columns. Something requiring calculating minimum or maximum values over time or using exponential moving averages in its calculation is generally going to have a shorter minimum refresh rate than a similar indicator using simple moving averages for example. And shorter periods will normally result in shorter refresh rates.

When will the V16 be available for MAC

I do not know when a Mac version of TC2000 v16 will be released. The most recent version of TC2000 which will run natively using Silverlight on a Mac currently is TC2000 v12.5.

Is a Mac v16 currently in the works? Or will Windows be the only option for new versions from now on?

A native TC2000 v16 for Mac is planned but I do not know when (or even for sure if) it will actually be released. My understanding is there is something that is supposed to happen with the development tools which will make this possible, but that it hasn't happened yet.
