Hello mate! Well, i guess there is only two possbel tricks here.
1)It was a cassual real internet related lag/// well// not a lot waht you can do. Maximum what can i offer, you can try to find a special program on the internet, which will just "ping" ZF servers durin the trading hours, ad if ping time will reach => some MS it will alarm you.
It WONT resolve that probable internet related lag problems, BUT< at least you will get a warning, before you make some orders.
--------
2) But, If we realy dismantle these possile "internet lags" i guess that you just havethe same problem, which most NT users have. CPU/RAM speed mess-up.
Two sad, but true facts:
a)NT start to have these 5-10secs lags from the "real price" when the volumes on market spikes up. CPU/ram just cant overdone all these mathematcal measurements in "real REAL-TIME".
2)NT starts to mess-up sometimes even on not extreme volume and volatile markets, IF you have a lot of other programs launched on that same PC at the same time with NT.
--------------
So, again, if its NOT an ISP internet related lags.. so.. here is how i deal with all that mess:
1)Only launch NT onone dedicated PC. For example i have 2 PC, whey are not high-end PC at all, but i use first to launch ONLY NT for trading. And i use all other mess (Skype, MSN, Opera, etc etc etc...) only oon the second PC.
2)This is my personal research, i didnt read that on official NT ums, niether i did received any confirmations from official NT spport team,.... but, another weird stuff which i`ve discovered....
You kno, you may use different "Workspaces" on NT. You may create few, and ten just switch from one to another... Cool feature, but, one days i realize, that my NT start to waste almost a minute to launch itself and i started to mention these "price lags: on charts ad DOM.
By the logic sense, you may have as much "workspaces" as you need, and the CPU/RAM used only by the actual loaded workspace, but, believeme: NT with 1 workspace works quite faser, then a NT (on same PC) if it have 5-10-15 "saved workspaces' i dont understand how that may affect NT< but, its just a fact which you may check by your own teasts.
The resolvation way was: Remove as many "workspaces" rom NT< as only you can. For example, now i have such settup:
on that "trading" PC i launch NT with 2 charts, only needed indicator and a staticDOM. Plus, i lauch "demo" NT on another PC, which have a loot of charts, indicators, and TA S|R levvels and all that crap.
So, after i managed these 2 PC by that way i finnaly received what i need, my NT started to work as a clear waterflow. No lags, no "thinking time".
PS: Sorry bro for my bad English.Thats not my actuaal language at all, but i do hope that my reseaches on that question will help you.
Cheeerz.
