Hi, I am trading range bar tick charts. Signals are generated on bar close and I send a market order right after I have set Chart update interval = 20 ms, get CPU load about 15% which is great and my custom study calc time is about 110 ms. The study helps me send market order upon signal is created - kind of "semi-auto" trading. My question is you did not recommend so low setting but range bar chart can be pretty fast once market opens 8.30 and I really do not want to lose on slow chart updating which would create unnecessary slippage. Can you comment on that how to achieve best results with this? When volatility is low it is not usually an issue but with fast markets each additional time 'ms' delay generated by high update time could create additional cost Thank you Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-07-01 15:35:04

It's a tradeoff that you will have to determine what works best for you. When you have a low Chart Update Interval, then you will have the studies being recalculated much more often, which then creates more load on the system, which could then create an overall slowdown in your system. This is why, in general, we recommend only using a low Chart Update Interval on Trading DOMs, as they have very few studies on them, if any. Again, it's very dependent on the individual situation, so if you are fine with what you have, then there is no reason to change it. But if you start adding studies and find that things are slowing down, you may need to lower your Chart Update Interval in order to get things working properly again.

There could be a way to determine the best performance threshold where additional update interval lowering actually hurts overall (final) performance ... I believe it can be measured somehow Have a great weekend |
