I don't want to question the nature of my reality every time I send a market order. Would appreciate substantially reduced lag across the board; order management, position updates, charts, etc. If they enjoyed playing blackjack, they'll probably punt some change on slots.

Right now on FTX you can: a) invest in stocks b) invest in crypto c) make credit card deposits d) get an FTX card, spend directly from FTX e) make direct deposits f) make peer to peer payments what else do people want?

What about sending market order via API, seems lagging only when via UI

What about colocating to the FTX server room and always being the first in the queue? An exchange should be optimising for the lowest common denominator; the avg degen who will be using the website. Fact that we've normalised "Lagging only when via UI" says a lot.

yeah so I think what's likely happening is not lag between UI server and matching engine or anything--I think it's literal lag in the browser loading the website/rendering things/etc.

So the lag on the mobile app is... lag due to my device and not the FTX app?

I don’t see lag on the app? Website might be something as simple as the TCIP allocations

Solution to this could be dedicated desktop software? Never had issues with ThinkOrSwim for stocks (before they got bought out and became horrible)

Then offer a desktop app built in chromium. Easy win

A good next step should be for the CEO to have visibility on this via monitoring, KPIs, soak/load/break tests across various locations and client’s types/config. Surprising if not the case already.
