Somewhere in the forum a few weeks ago I mentioned that I was trying out a new data provider.  The ones I had before would actually give me a real-time price but they wouldn't have an accurate OHLC until after 9:45.  So the system used to wait until after a good OHLC was provided before processing alerts.  

The new provider gives a good OHLC quote much earlier -- although not for every stock for some reason.  So, yes, some stocks do start updating earlier.

Thanks for the reminder -- I need to go through the latest links to see if there's anything I want to feature.

I'm finally back into a consistent development rhythm after some family issues took priority for most of 2022.  I've been making lots of little changes here & there.  Just trying for small percentage improvements every week.  

One big thing I'm working on is trying to determine trend lines and when they break.  If I can get the trendlines right, then I can also have the system detect things like triangles & channels.  It's an interesting challenge because those things can be subjective and it's non-trivial to know how far back in time to look to find the start of a pattern.

Sort of combined with that, I'm looking into a new charting platform to use for the charts that SwingTradeBot generates, a la the pop-up charts.  The TradingView charts will remain as the default on the chart pages but I'd really like to provide an alternative that I can plot things (trendlines & maybe annotations) on and that users can customize a bit.
