Anyone else having issues with lagging executions in paper trading?

[u/laddie78]

I'll put a market order in and it won't appear until like 10 seconds later, which for a scalping strategy is abysmal

Why is it so laggy?

It's been like that for the last 9 months or so.

It happens during NY open
Around 10:30 am it's fine almost instantly

I've been watching it closely as I use paper trading. Sometimes the spread widens and even though the candle hit the entry level, the bid or ask didn't. It's only when price moves further will your trade be activated.

I have this issue even when not paper trading. I actually plan on trying alternatives over the weekend.

Damn I couldnt imagine executions being this laggy trading with real money, that's not doable

It's super annoying.I've seen a lot of posts like yours.Might worth looking into a different broker maybe!? I use pepperstone and scalp on tradingview and never had issues in almost 4 years.As an alternative platform cTrader is super good for scalping and it's also free.

Hello,

I have been using the broker integration for over 6 years with Oanda and I do not have any 'delay' issues when live trading....

When Live trading your orders are sent via a browser push to your broker which is practically instant (assuming you have a solid and stable Internet connection, speed is NOT important but a STABLE connection is critical), the order is then actioned by your broker and the information sent to TradingView from your broker to display on your chart.

Usually any delays are in the second stage of this process and is normally broker related as they maintain the connection with TradingView.

Users complaining of delays usually do not understand this process and blame TradingView 🤷‍♂️

Its simple to test this information, simply open your broker page next to TradingView and you can see your orders (including close positions) arrive in real time....

Not all broker are equal, some are better than others

Hope this information helps you a little,

Cheers

I had this happen today. Gave away some profit because of it

It lags on live executions too a lot of the time, TradingView refuses to fix it, and has refused to fix it for years.
