Hi joshtrader, Thank you for your post. have had 1Gbps fiber for 8 years. I do not use WiFi, but a direct connection to my switch in my wiring closet. I have a Ryzen 9 7900x 12-core @ 4.7GHz, 64GB RAM, and am not running much other than a few browser windows. This is just for background.
It seems we have very similar conditions in what regards to hardware, internet, and setup, except I have two internet connections. I also have the same CPU model in my trading PC. I usually monitor a few indices and commodities in a third separate instance, which I always disconnect before important economic releases and during the first 45 minutes of the day session. It's already an habit. My scalp trading is done during those periods and I need the most I can have from the data feed speed. I keep two separate instances (not a sub-instance) open during my trading time - one with the DOM and a second one with three charts. I think I can't do it lighter than this. My DOM's update speed is set to just 100ms and the buffer is set to 100 too. When we experienced that "freezing" on Wednesday, my DOM's instance stopped but the instance with the three charts kept moving, despite "stuttering" a bit. Later I checked and confirmed that the two instances were on different servers, as I wrote in post #2. Furthermore, I also have a second data feed, with just one DOM and it didn't even blink! I wish I could use that data feed just in my DOM but trade on Teton. Despite not liking to install or have more software running in my trading computer, today I was setting up a screen recorder to do the same as you are going to do. The thing is that I don't think I will be able to run tests and keep my focus to trade. On these occasions everything happens very fast, as you know. We will see tomorrow... User61168: I've traded with various software, data feeds, and layouts for many years. Latency is super easy to recognize visually when looking at the order book (DOM).
That's exactly what I would advise. You don't need to install anything just to witness a data feed lagging or failing. You just need to watch your DOM / charts at the right time. In any case, there is something you can easily do if you really need an alert for it: https://www.sawtoothtrade.com/free-stuff-2.html Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-09-01 00:43:42
