Is It Me or is It Sierra Charts/OEC Feed.

Recommended Posts

It is unlikely to be Sierra Chart ... check your chart update interval (Global Settings/General Settings) although I'm not certain that would affect it. I run mine on 150ms.

Thanks,

 

what makes the difference? The default setting was set at 900.

BTW - OEC is a notorious resource hog.

 

It uses the .Net framework, and slows down your CPU when you have the quotes screen up and running.

That means there will be a 900 millisecond delay between your charts and your feed, since there are 1000 milliseconds in 1 sec. If you have a real fast CPU the fast you can go as fast is a 50 millisecond delay.

Chart Update Interval

 

Sets how often the chart graphics are updated and studies are recalculated when connected to the data feed. Enter the value in milliseconds. Using a higher value will reduce CPU usage, however, the chart will update slower. Using a lower value will increase CPU usage, however, the chart will update faster. This setting does not affect the speed at which data is stored, it is stored tick by tick without any gaps. All trades received are displayed. When a trade is received, it will be displayed within this time interval. All charting programs update charts in this way. Using a very short update interval (less than 800 milliseconds) will require a very fast CPU.

Have you compared the YM to the ES especially around market open? At certain times the instruments (especially the YM) can be very slow.

I just want to verify your exact concern...

 

Are you saying that Sierra is lagging with the quotes and you are seeing it earlier in OEC (e.g. with tick chart)? Or are you just saying you think the overall YM feed (both OEC and Sierra) feels like it's lagging?

I think sierra is lagging. It made a difference when i adjusted the global settings to 150ms.

Its not so much lagging as when you have the setting at 900ms the chart is only refreshed every 900ms. So sometimes it will be right on time ... but equally often it will be 900ms late. On average though the data was received 450ms before you saw it on the display so I guess it feels like lagging. I think 900 is only really suited to end of day or hourly bar type traders; half a second won't matter much in that case.

 

I must admit I hadn't realised that it could be as fast as 50ms now so I must update mine to 100ms (recently got an 8500 to replace my e6600 and added an extra 2G of ram so why not speed up sc too :))

I did the samething also. I added 2GB and updated the settings to 150. Ill take a look at 100ms monday morning. It looks alot better with the current adjustments.

      Hello all,
      I'm new here so be gentle if I've posted something incorrect. I'm looking for a data feed or API (push or pull at this point) that provides the ability to pull trades based on any set of criteria. All services I am looking at require a Symbol at least. I'm looking for the ability to ADHOC query on any field on the trade or quote and then be able to analyse the information I'm getting, tweak my parameters, to narrow down to symbols I want to watch or monitor. 
      I will be building this within a .net framework so something that works nicely with .net is a plus but at this point I'll code around the difficulties if I find a solution that provides this functionality. 
      Does anyone know if this exists?
      Thanks!

    • Date: 26th April 2024. Alphabet Easily Beat Earnings Predictions But Focus Shifts to Today’s PCE Data. Microsoft and Alphabet’s earnings reports beat expectations pushing the NASDAQ to the top of the charts. The Bank of Japan keep interest rates unchanged applying pressure on the Japanese Yen. The Yen Index declines 0.36% and is down 40% against the USD over the past 5 years. The US GDP growth rate falls below its 2.5% expectations, reading 1.6%, but economists advise the Fed may only cut once in 2024! The market turns its attention to the Core PCE Price Index which analysts expect to fall from 2.8% to 2.6%. USA100 – Alphabet Easily Beat Analysts’ Earnings Predictions and Sees its P/E Ratio Fall! The price of the NASDAQ ended the day higher and rose to a slightly higher high. As a result, the index is close to forming a traditional bullish trend and making Wednesday’s decline a retracement or medium-term correction. In terms technical analysis, indicators are mainly indicating a reverting price condition where the asset cannot maintain longer term momentum. However, momentum indications provide a slight bullish bias. The upward price movement is being driven by earnings reports from Microsoft and Alphabet which beat earnings expectations. Microsoft is the most influential stock for the NASDAQ while Alphabet is the third most influential. Alphabet’s earnings beat expectations by 21.61% and revenue rose more than $6 billion. As a result, the price of the stock rose 11.56% after market close. Furthermore, Microsoft’s Earnings Per Share beat Wall Street’s expectations by 3.40% and revenue by 1.50%. The stock rose by 4.30% after market close and is close to trading at the all-time high. However, investors should note that from the “magnificent 7”, Alphabet and Meta have the lowest Price to Earnings ratio. Meaning these stocks are the most likely to be trading below their intrinsic value. However, investors should note that negatives for the stock market in general remain. This also supports the bias shown by technical analysis. The GDP growth rate fell considerably below expectations while inflation data continues to show signs of rising prices. Investors will closely be monitoring today’s Core PCE Price Index which is the most watched index by the Federal Reserve. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to fall from 2.8% to 2.6%. If the index reads more than 0.3%, a rate cut will become unlikely making stocks less attractive. Whereas, if the PCE Price Index is not as high as expectations, Bond Yields will likely decline, as will the US Dollar and a rate cut will be put back on the table. As a result, investors may look to take advantage of the strong earnings and continue purchasing stocks. USDJPY – BOJ Hold Interest Rates Unchanged! The price of the USDJPY exchange rate again rose to an all-time recent high after increasing in value for 3 consecutive days. Trend and momentum-based indicators point towards a higher price. However, the exchange rate is trading within the overbought range of most oscillators and is also showing a divergence pattern. Both are known to indicate a decline, but not necessarily a complete change of trend. The Bank of Japan’s statement from earlier this morning was largely “dovish” and gave no clear indication that the central bank wishes to keep rising interest rates. However, shortly the Governor will answer questions from journalists and may give a more hawkish tone. Either way, investors are mainly concentrating on if the Federal Government will again opt to intervene within the currency market. Most economists believe the intervention will only come if the USD continues to rise and it will not be before the Core PCE Price Index. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • “If the West finds itself falling behind in AI, it won’t be due to a lack of technological prowess or resources. It won’t be because we weren’t smart enough or didn’t move fast enough. It will be because of something many of our Eastern counterparts don’t share with us: fear of AI.   The root of the West's fear of AI can no doubt be traced back to decades of Hollywood movies and books that have consistently depicted AI as a threat to humanity. From the iconic "Terminator" franchise to the more recent "Ex Machina," we have been conditioned to view AI as an adversary, a force that will ultimately turn against us.   In contrast, Eastern cultures have a WAY different attitude towards AI. As UN AI Advisor Neil Sahota points out, "In Eastern culture, movies, and books, they've always seen AI and robots as helpers and assistants, as a tool to be used to further the benefit of humans."   This positive outlook on AI has allowed countries like Japan, South Korea, and China to forge ahead with AI development, including in areas like healthcare, where AI is being used to improve the quality of services.   The West's fear of AI is not only shaping public opinion but also influencing policy decisions and regulatory frameworks. The European Union, for example, recently introduced AI legislation prioritizing heavy-handed protection over supporting innovation.   While such measures might be well-intentioned, they risk stifling AI development and innovation, making it harder for Western companies and researchers to compete.   Among the nations leading common-sense AI regulation, one stands out for now: Singapore.” – Chris C Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
