Why latency matters

Fast data is only half the job. TM9 2.0 pairs it with a rewritten matching layer that cuts order roundtrip from around 120 ms to under 40 ms on average, so your stops fire when you need them.

Where it runs

The same feed powers the mobile app, the Web Terminal, and the desktop terminal. Your watchlists and layouts follow you between them in real time.

Where the Price Stream Goes.

Three notes on where the stream goes, how it behaves on each device, and who gains most from it.

Icon for Do charts and orders use the same price stream - Real-Time Market Data page

Do charts and orders use the same price stream?

In practice this means the quote on your watchlist, the last price on your chart and the price your order is checked against all come from the same stream. There is no separate delayed feed for charts and live feed for trading, which is what usually causes the "the chart said something else" problem on cheaper apps.

Icon for Does the data feed behave the same on every device - Real-Time Market Data page

Does the data feed behave the same on every device?

Data quality is only as useful as the device showing it, so the feed behaves the same on a basic phone, a smartphone, the Web Terminal and the desktop terminal. Alerts ride on the same stream, which is why a volatility alert reaches you at roughly the moment the move shows up on your chart.

Icon for Which traders benefit most from real-time data - Real-Time Market Data page

Which traders benefit most from real-time data?

This matters most to traders who work intraday, where a stale quote is the difference between a fill and a miss. Position traders get less from tick speed, but the same feed keeps their alerts and end-of-day levels honest, and it costs them nothing extra to have it.

Icon for Where This Fits. - Real-Time Market Data page

Where This Fits.

Live data is the layer the other features stand on: charts draw from it, alerts trigger on it and orders are checked against it. Everything built on top, from charts and alerts to copy trading, is on the TM9 forex trading mobile app home page.

Icon for Where this sits - Real-Time Market Data page

Where this sits

The quote feed exists so that quotes, charts, orders and alerts read the same numbers on every device you own. TM9 supplies that data layer and the app around it, while your broker holds the funds and executes the orders the app sends. Watching the market differently never changes where your money sits.

Icon for One stream behind every screen - Real-Time Market Data page

One stream behind every screen

A single stream feeds quotes, charts, orders, alerts and copy trading, and the same account reads it on a basic phone, a smartphone, the Web Terminal and the desktop terminal. When a live price prompts an order, the rewritten execution engine sends it with a roundtrip under 40 ms on average, and your broker, who holds the funds, executes it. Switching devices or layouts leaves that arrangement, and your money, where it is.

Icon for Good to know - Real-Time Market Data page

Good to know

Live quotes reach you through TM9, but TM9 is a software platform, not a broker: funding, spreads, leverage and execution policy stay with the broker you connect. A fast quote is information to act on rather than a forecast, and signals in the app are not financial advice. Trading carries a real risk of loss. Live quotes in the mobile and web apps cost end users nothing.
