Is cat trading on some exclusive VIP ftx subdomain?
Frontrunning might be speculation, but there's no doubt about the lag/latency.
When i market order on ftx, I have enough time to brew some tea, take the dog for a walk, buy some groceries, and then my order gets filled.

can you send me a video of the lag you're seeing? would be super useful.

it's hard, form words alone, to debug--best guess is that it's browser lag but to figure out for sure we'll need to be able to line up e.g. orderbook state at the time the button was clicked
So why isn’t there a “browser lag” on Binance or Bybit?

I sometimes see lag on #ada on bybit. Not the case in the picture, but sometimes it's just a straight line

Why don’t we have the same trouble with binance and bybit?

Imo your UI is being asked to do too much, especially with cross margining live ticking and all the charts and leverage sliders and calcs. Its become a resource hog

yea this is my best guess by far -- complexity/thoroughness of system --> large resource hog on browser --> browser can lag in displaying info if your computer and/or internet aren't strong enough

The API isn't working as good as Binance's or even other smaller exchanges either. If you post a limit order it wont even be placed sometimes.

I also think it is browser lag, but I have a 3 year old 3k USD laptop. If that is not beefy enough to use FTX website than i am afraid 90% of people can’t use website without lag

Man, maybe you do need some more employees. If only for UX testing. Will record next time, but more than once if you press buy and the confirmation modal pops up, it simple does not respond.

when you record they’ll say the recording made your system lag 🤷🏾♂️
