Thanks that makes a lot of sense. I'm running the ticker in threaded mode and doing my processing on a separate thread, which means that there is no delay on my part. My question is, Does the Kite api have an inherent lag (for example, always a minute late or something like that)?
No, personally, I have faced no trouble. I was just wondering if there is any lag, as LTP data does not come with a timestamp so I cannot check it for myself.
Yes, but that increases my processing by a lot at the benefit of very little additional information. As long as the LTP ticks have negligible lag, my strat is gonna work alright.
Yes, you will receive all the ticks without any delay in all the modes. The different modes are just to reduce data consumption and you will receive data only when it changes.

Why did you feel that there is a lag?
Thanks for the quick reply!
