Every half second
Every second
Every minute
Every two seconds

The correct answer is: Every second

The Order Imbalance Indicator sends messages every second between 9:28 a.m. and 9:29:59 a.m. ET. This frequency allows for real-time updates regarding order imbalances, which can speak to the buying or selling pressure in the market just before the opening bell. The real-time data is crucial for traders and market participants to make informed decisions based on the current state of market orders. By sending messages every second, the indicator provides a timely and relevant snapshot of market conditions, thus allowing participants to react promptly as they are able to gauge any significant shifts in order flow leading up to the market's opening. This frequency ensures that all market participants have access to the most up-to-date information, helping to maintain fair and orderly markets.
