OnTick() Processing vs Monitor Refresh Rate
16 Nov 2015, 01:40

Hi

I have a query regarding the functionality of cAlgo for high frequency trading...

My monitor refresh rate is 60Hz, so the screen is refreshed every 17ms. When a tick arrives and is processed by my OnTick() function, is the recepit of subsequent ticks "blocked" until the screen is refreshed? Or does the OnTick() function process ticks asynchronously of screen display?

I hope I have explained my query sufficiently well to make sense.

Kind regards

John Duffy

Dear Trader,

We cannot think of any reason where your display may have an impact on the OnTick() method.
