Machine Time Off By 3 Seconds Will It Impact Performance

Postby tony » 28 Feb 2014

I noticed my PC is off by 3 seconds versus the time on my data feed. The machine is 3 seconds slower. Has anyone ever seen a small time difference like this impact strategy performance? Seems like it should have no impact but I was curious if anyone has any experience with such a thing.

Thank You -

Hello tony,

Whole MC software is based on your local Windows clock. It is strongly recommended to have clock in sync with your data provider to avoid real-time data delays and form bars correctly.
