    The limit was set to no max for the order book.
    I've changed the value to 80 updates per second

    Let's see

    If it were an Apex thing others would be complaining about it as well, i once had an account with Apex to try them out and didn't had any issues.

    I guess it has something to do with your laptop or like you said, internet connection.
    But the second one seems unlikely to me, trading doesn't require a fancy network connection, my Rithmic connection is using 0,3 Mbps on average.

    You have to uncheck "keep up with market data inflow", otherwise it will update more than the limit you set it to if the market moves faster than that, that might explain the freezes.

    I have both my limits set to 10 per second, more then my brain can process anyway so why set it higher.

    Oh, thanks for the advice.
    Done it. Didn't thought about it.
    It's probably going to solve my issue :D

    You're right ... 10 per second is comfortable
    I searched on the web and found the human eye can't make a difference above ~50 updates per second.

    The human eye notices around 30 to 60 frames per second.

    Noticing frames per second is entirely different from registering the data in the DOM at 50 times per second.

    For a smooth experience watching sports for example a minimum of 50 frames or even better 100 frames per second is recommended for a smooth watching experience, but you don't need 50 updates per second on the DOM since you will never be able to process that information at that rate.

    Made me think about this



    Number of frames won’t help for spotting the gorilla
    xD The elephant in the room !

    After Peaky Blinders. Suits.

    Create a situation where failure isn’t even a possibility !

    Have a nice weekend

    It’s being weak, not to profit from the player’s weaknesses :D Bury them with a smile.

    Don’t be naïve nor emotional.

    One reason why it looks better to know your instrument inside / out is, lately the NQ tends to pullback 15 to 20 points when there is a really good trend. Knowing stuffs like this … gives you kind of an edge.

    Why did you choose Apex? There are other firms that have shorter evaluation times plus you can withdraw as soon as you establish your "cushion" after being funded. Earn2Trade is one of them. Darrell Martin of Apex has a sordid history. Their evaluation time adds up to over a month. Then you're limited as to how much you can withdraw. I wouldn't be surprised if they blew up one day because they're using trader's money to finance other traders which is the definition of a ponzi scheme.

    Not true.

    Which is what all these companies are doing ... They all make the majority of their income from failing traders and very little from the profit split.

    Please note that this guy has been making claims about Apex and accusing them of all kind of shit with 0 evidence, even lying when doing so. Just look up his post history.

    I guess he is somehow affiliated with their competitors.
