I subscribed the web socket ticks for 10 instrument tokens. I see that the few of the token receive way more ticks than others. Some tokens have only received 1 tick as well. Is this expected behaviour ?
Couple of other questions: 1. How many tokens can i pass while subscribing to the ticks ? 2. Alternate approach is to retrieve Instrument Quote every second (passing multiple instruments). Which approach do you recommend, A) Retrieving quotes every second or relying on the web socket ticks ?
@ramzh, We broadcast ticks only when there is a change in data. Some liquid instruments might have more activity happening so you will receive more ticks than others. We recommend using Websockets over Quote API for getting continuous market data updates. Even if you poll, you will receive the same cached tick data. You can subscribe for up to 3000 tokens per connection. You can open up to 3 websocket connections per app.
