I notice slight delay of at least .5 Sec (500 ms) in BSE Option feed of Zerodha. Sometimes, this delay widens to 1 second.
This isn’t a problem for an investor or swing trader but it is surely a problem for a scalper and momentum traders.
I have compared Zerodha’s BSE feed to other brokers and in all cases it is delayed.
In the video, you can clearly see that Dhan is updating price fater than Zerodha. (See video till end)
It causes slippage because we punch order based on 500 ms or 1 second delayed prices. It’s a very serious problem for a momentum trader or scalper. In that 500 ms, prices can move either way.
I can’t understand why a large broker like Zerodha is not doing anything on this. It’s the most basic thing not an advanced feature.
I request Zerodha, please do something in this matter. Improve your BSE feed updation otherwise you are going to lose many serious traders.
