LAG IN 1 TICK CHART

Postby ppan » 01 Sep 2008

The updating speed of 1 tick chart is slower than the quote. There is no such problem in NT chart.

Using MC 4.0 with IB. I run the MC and NT together with the same symbol in the same computer. The tick chart of MC is slower than NT.

I use the MC 4.0 beta 1 (build 1440) and NT 6.5. The 2 programs are installed in the same computer and connected to the same IB data feed at the same time. I'm using a Q6600 cpu with 4G RAM so I think the computer speed is fast enough. Both plot a 1 tick chart in real time. I use the Camtasia Studio 5 to record the screen. The updating speed of the MC tick chart is slower than the IB quote. There is not such problem for the NT tick chart, the updating speed is the same as IB quote.

p.s.
under the Format Symbol > Settings,
The Tick Counts is set to 1 for MC.

I notice this with version 3.0 also. It seems to be to do with rasterisation and display of the bar (well thats my hunch)

Hi ppan,

Could you please post your video here? Or at least give us the symbol name so that we could run tests locally.

Thank you.
