While viewing a chart, you are actually looking at two different prices: a historical price and a current price.
|
A fresh chart on Apiary Fund's Alveo trading platform initially shows historical data. |
Once a chart is open, Alveo starts receiving “Current Price” data from our “Quote Server.” Apiary Fund has multiple liquidity providers who send their current price quote to our Quote Server which collects and organizes the different quotes, finds the best price, then broadcasts it to your computer. The quote servers feeding Alveo are built to send every quote they receive into the platform.When you first open a chart to trade, you won't have instant access to the current prices. Instead, the chart is back filled with historical data, or previous movements of price action. In Alveo, we fill the chart with data from our "Historic Data" server.
