Not much of a DOM trader, but I want to start using it for faster order management. So, yesterday, I set up my charts like normal, but now with the DOM to my far right.
While the load time can be slow, Ninja always seems very responsive and non-lagging in real time trading.
However, yesterday, I had issues. My charts simply seemed slow. ES during the open. Fairly volatile. Upon comparision, I saw that the DOM was jumping up and down while my charts weren't ticking up/down in the same fashion. Is this normal?
I also noticed that the chart trader (using it on a 1000 volume chart) wasn't updating properly in real time, i.e., it lagged. This was also evident as an order was GREEN, i.e., in profit, on my screens, but all of a sudden I was stopped out. And no, there wasn't a huge spike. It simply didn't update properly.
I'm writing off yesterday as a possible anomaly, but it's the first time I noticed this and I can't help but be curious if the problems could be attributed to the DOM?
Any thoughts or similar experiences?
Best regards,
Johnny
