Attached is a 500T chart of NQM4 at 7:07 PT I noticed that my Target was filled but the candle had not reached the target. i.e. I was trading LIVE, I got a notice from Transact telling me my target profit LIMIT order was filled but on my 500T NQM4 chart the candle showed that this was not possible. about 1/2 second later the candle painted. I am looking for a way of speeding up my candle painting 1. my environment - Transact data feed I7 quad core computer (usually about 1% or 2% load on cores) 6 GB RAM (usually about 25% used) Sierra Charts #3 for chart trading 6 Mbps DSL line I live in rural B.C. Canada (maybe 1500 miles from Chicago) a ping of Chicago Servers using Speedtest.net shows 86 ms. my chart only has OHLC, ema21 and I am not using any automated studies. I am downloading $tick and $trin which I would turn off if I know how to do this. 2. since the notification of the fill of my profit target occurred about 1/2 second before the candle was painted, it would seem my data feed is fast enough. Is there anyway of painting my candles faster with Sierra Chart. 3. I only noticed this on the filling of my target profit, but presumably I am being affected also when I place an order for trade entry. |
