(hope you are addressing me)
Allow me to explain how I see all these phenomenal improvements SIERRA CHART is doing for us🤔 (feel free please to correct my thinking)

SIERRA CHART is enabling us to have as miniscule as possible time overhead to usual retail inability to have pipe directly into the wall of data center (although I am bloody close to that)
Meaning 10-30-80 ms plus time used by our hardware/software
In my opinion SIERRA CHART went above phenomenal (it could easily be that SIERRA CHART is better architecture than many professional machines/software because SC Wizards🧙‍♂️ are addicted to bring the impossible from C++)

Did you notice that I set my interval to 20 ms (I am lucky one having my internet node positioned to data center in Aurora and CME to unbelievable 10-20 ms; jitter 1 ms ; ping 7-8 ms) because I am a bit afraid if I goes lower I will turn psycho

Another thing is my trading machine-no other retail trader has better one-handling everything coming my way to perfection (trading is my only way making living)
I am so happy 😊 with SIERRA CHART beyond describable with ONE (1) PROBLEM-I can't "force" them to take my $$$ as an appreciation for their work; Engineering; John-SUPPORT
I NEVER encounter anything similar to SIERRA CHART

Sorry to bother you with all this;in short-I was perfect with 100 ms then 50 ms; 30 and now 20 ms and will probably go down to 10 ms
Build the strongest trading machine you can (if you are on Win with a lot of RAM take paging out) surround yourself with monitors start trading 💹 make money 💵
Wish you all the best

p.s.
With this new improvement I really have no need for OpenGL
