Why Your Retail Data Feed Is Costing You Money

Most retail platforms poll REST APIs every 500ms-3s.

Institutions use WebSocket connections with sub-50ms latency.

The difference:

• Retail: sees price moves 1-3 seconds late
• Institution: sees it in real-time
• On fast markets (NFP, rate decisions), this gap costs a fortune
