SierraChart/CQG + Broker: AMP Futures Dear SierraChart-Team, there is a performance problem with the datafeed in the DOMs with CQG. The speed from the datafeed in my just 3 open DOMs is much too slow and is thus not mapped correctly. All the charts are showing the correct price trend in each case at each time, but not the 3 DOMs. It looks like not all ticks that are traded are mapped. question 1: what is the reason from this issue (filtered ticks? something else): question 2: how can this be fixed: Remark: I want to restart trading after several years time out. I wondered, why the price changes in the DOMs have suddenly become so slow. It is not my up-to-date trading PC, because I have checked other trading platforms with CQG-datafeed and all of them were much faster. I hope you have a solution for this issue, because I love your software and want to stay with it and your great service. (In former days I used SierraChart/CQG on my 9 screens 9 DOMs, plenty of charts at the same time and always the speed of data supply was excellent. What has changed? I would like to know that.) Thank you very much for your time and support! Best greetings from Germany, Alexander |

Multiple threads in here already about increasing DOM performance. Step 1 would be checking the Chart Update Interval under Chart > Chart Settings > Display > Chart Update Interval in Milliseconds 0 is global which is 500ms by default I think - way too slow for a DOM but fine for general charting I guess. I use 20ms for my Primary and Fast Markets (think NQ or CL), everything else sits on 50ms. There has been a lot of research into perception speed - some studies suggest as little as 13ms is possible for the human brain to interpret an image, others suggest 50-60ms in normal light conditions is best case. There is an argument for having DOMs in a separate Instance as well, in my personal use I have found this unnecessary, but depending on your use case you may find beneficial. |

Refer to: Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Improving Performance Of Chart / Trade DOM The first thing to do is just open a single Trading DOM without any studies in an instance and lower the Chart Update Interval to about 50 ms, and then evaluate the performance.
