Data Update Speed

PreviousCharts & DataNextHide Chart Plots

Last updated 10 months ago

ProjectX provides 3 data refresh speeds for you to choose from:

  • Slow (750ms)

  • Medium (default - 250ms)

  • Fast (50ms).

We pipe exchange data updates at very fast refresh intervals directly into the TradingView charting library, via your web browser. This may cause issues with outdated or slow browsers, which can struggle to keep up with these updates.

If you experience any kind of delay or data lag on your charts, please reduce your data refresh speed & consider reducing the amount of indicators / drawings shown.

Please note: chart refresh lag does not effect trading and orders, as all trading and order execution occurs in our server side order engine. Traders are advised to monitor their at all times.
