TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1) and TimeSpan.FromTicks(1)
19 May 2018, 13:48

Dear cTrader,

I'm programing a robot for news trading. My main code put inside OnTimer() and in OnStart() I put Timer.Start()

Will have difference result if I use

Timer.Start(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1));

or use

Timer.Start(TimeSpan.FromTicks(1));

My Server Latency is 45ms

Thanks!

Dear thongbaogiaodich,

A millisecond contains 10000 ticks. Therefore, you will have a difference. Read more here.

Thanks for your reply!

But if my Server Latency is 45ms, will have difference between them or not? Because as I understand, my Server will update new data each 45ms.

Hi thongbaogiaodich, 

This is not what latency means. Latency means that data will arrive from the server to your pc after 45ms. The rate of update is not affected. 

Best Regards,

Panagiotis
