Hi, I noticed, that I am receiving JSON messages depending to how fast I am sending heartbeats from client. If I set it to 5seconds, I will not receive data in between those 5 seconds. I thought that this is not the way it should work and was under the impression that the data is being received in realtime not in 5 seconds batches. Please correct me if I am wrong.

If I reduce the client heartbeat to 1s intervals, I receive the last price (message 112) faster but it still is not good enough.

thank you

You really have to look at your code. A problem like this would be on your side.

We tested using compact JSON across instances of Sierra Chart and this is what we see for the symbol EURUSD:
