In Nest trader can we change qty to lots in order forms and market depth so that we see and enter number of lots like 1,2... instead of qty in multiples of 25 for NF ?

Yusi, we can stream more ticks, but if the end user doesn't really have good bandwidth, the number of ticks he can accept will be significantly lesser. The live charts will be still plotted based on the ticks the end user has received. If the internet is really good, the live charts will be a lot more accurate.

But like tracerbullet has rightly put,the other option is to backfill server data every once in a while, end of every candle or end of every few candles. We could do this either automatically or given an option to fetch the latest few candles from our server. No one does this presently other than esignal (esignal actually continuously backfills server data). On our list of things to do.

But if someone is using 1mbps + kind of connection, the quality of data is as good or better than most platforms out there.

At the outset, it is nice that we are on the same page as far as the problem statement is concerned. The updation of the running chart is the larger issue, and it is not that the data at your server that is inaccurate. It would be natural for a user to open the same symbol chart at different times, see differing values, cross-check with another platform, and become unsure what to rely on.

As you have mentioned, streaming more ticks to solve the issue has its attendant drawbacks. And, it would help minimize but not solve it. You want to work smarter, not harder. In any case, you are not offering tick charts.

I recall reading a forum post where a user was complaining that his 1 minute bars sometimes changed after they had formed. GFDL had responded that, yes, they did stream a corrective OHLC at the end of every minute. If that is correct, then tracerbullet's suggestion has a precedent. Whether you do this once per N bars or N times per bar is an optimization.

However, there is more than meets the eye. If Pi was holding its chart data as tick or M1 series (irrespective of whether it is a M5 or M15 chart), then changing chart interval on-the-fly would not be an issue; but that does not seem possible. Also, I have never understood why you designed for a Number of Bars input when opening a chart. So, in some way, the data structure is constraining available options. You would be the best judge for the right solution.

Pi is ok, stable enough, but placing a bracket order is a *****. One has to change between the mouse and keyboard 2-3 times. You enter the price and press tab, it goes straight to the "submit" button without going to the target, stoploss fields. You have to use the mouse to click on the target field, and when you enter the target price and press tab, the mouse goes God knows where, I can't see it. I have to again click in the stoploss field to see it. This is too much for a 10 finger typist/ keyboard commando like me. Further, it doesn't remember the previous values of the target/stoploss values.

Will revert to ztrader for a day or two and then decide which one do I prefer

Nest is ok if you are using one chart only (or no charts at all). Further, one has become used to Nest for some months now.

Perhaps the big PLUS point with PI is ,to place an order from chart.
But ,I have not tested PI fully ,like Bracket Order etc....

Dear Nithin (Assuming Nithin himself is replying here),

Wannabe client here.

I mailed your support team for live stream NIFTY INDEX (which get updated per tick basis, as we see stocks get updated per tick on streaming charts)
But got a reply that you provide only per minute candle update for NIFTY INDEX.

May I know why such a important INDEX don't get per tick updated format chart.
What other option is available with you if your software terminal doesn't provide it.

Regards

Yep Nithin also answers, but not this one.

We have index live charts on our new platform Pi. The chart is plotted as a 1 min candle chart, but of course all live ticks are captured.
