Hello!
How quick Windows updates real time data from data feed stream? every 50 ms?
I want to use unfiltered data but Windows stream update speed can make influence to results.

Hello Alexpl,

Zen-Fire is an unfiltered data feed.

To clarify, what window are you using for example a Chart, or Market Analyzer window where you are viewing data, or could you clarify what you mean by Windows stream update?

I talked about the time synchronization. Whether the terminal is not able to process the stream? For example, data from the stock exchange have a delay in passing via telecommunications. Eg 1 ms. But the terminal updates the data every 50 ms, because the operating system is unable to process the data faster. I can not confirm this information with my hand. Is it possible?

Thanks for any answers.

Hello Alexpl,

Thank you for clarifying that.

The operating system will be able to handle updates that fast, but it is going to be hardware dependent.

NinjaTrader will process all of the incoming unfiltered tick data as soon you are able to download the data, so NinjaTrader will not omit any ticks and process NinjaScript items. Visually, the updates speeds may vary for example in a chart you can right click inside a chart, select Properties, then scroll down and change the Display update interval to change how fast visually your chart updates, but will take up more CPU usage.
