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: 8th May 2024. Market News – Stocks mixed; Yen support still on; Eyes on NFP & Apple tonight   Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   As the Fed maintained a “high-for-longer” stance, stocks gave up their gains with attention turning back to earnings. Chair Powell and the Fed were not as hawkish as feared and the markets reacted immediately and in textbook fashion to the still dovish policy stance. The Fed flagged that recent disappointing inflation readings could make rate cuts a while in coming, but Fed chief Jerome Powell characterized the risk of more hikes as “unlikely,” giving some solace to markets. Stocks traded mixed across Asia, while in Europe, DAX and FTSE futures are finding buyers and US futures are also in demand, after the Fed’s message. Yen: Another suspected intervention by authorities, this time in late New York trading, ran into resistance from traders keen to keep selling the currency. Swiss CPI lifted to 1.4% y/y in April from 1.0% y/y in the previous month. Headline numbers are still at low levels and base effects play a role, with the different timing of Easter this year also likely to distort the picture. That said, the numbers may not question the SNB’s decision to cut rates, but they do not support another rate cut in June. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex has corrected to 105.58, but USDJPY is already inching higher again, after a sharp drop to a low of 153.04 on Tuesday that sparked fresh intervention speculation. The pair is currently trading at 155.38. Treasury yields plunged and were down over double digits before profit taking set in. USOIL finished with a -3.6% loss to $79.00, the lowest since March 12. Currently it is as $79.53. Gold was up 1.4% to $2319.55 per ounce, reclaiming the $2300 level. Market Trends:   Wall Street climbed initially with gains of 1.4% on the NASDAQ, 1.2% on the Dow, and 0.96% on the S&P500. The NASDAQ and S&P500 closed with losses of -0.3%, while the Dow was 0.23% firmer. The Hang Seng rallied more than 2%, and the ASX also posting slight gains, while CSI 300 and Nikkei declined. Apple’s earnings report is due after the US market closes today, will give investors a better sense of how the iPhone maker is weathering a sales slump, due in part to a sluggish China market.
