VTX Macro Update: High-Performance UI & Enhanced Trading Logic
The latest update to VTX Macro focuses heavily on what matters most: speed and accuracy. We’ve rolled out a comprehensive performance overhaul to ensure the interface keeps pace with the market, while simultaneously hardening the core logic that powers your trading strategies.
⚡ 60Hz Performance Standard
We’ve re-engineered the core trading dashboard to handle real-time data with zero lag. The result is a buttery-smooth experience, even during high-volatility events.
- Fluid Markets: Real-time price and order updates are now optimized to 60Hz, eliminating jitter and UI freezes.
- Smart Rendering: The Trading, Leaderboard, and Billing pages have been rebuilt with a modular architecture. This means data updates in one part of the screen no longer cause the rest of the app to "repaint," significantly reducing CPU usage.
- Faster Load Times: Optimization of background data fetching means pages now load snappier and stay responsive.
📈 Insights & Data Accuracy
Your performance metrics are only as good as the data powering them. We've smoothed out several edge cases in how Profit & Loss (PnL) is displayed.
- Clean Open Actions: We’ve fixed a visual quirk where opening a new position could briefly show misleading PnL numbers. New positions now correctly display a neutral status until price action occurs.
- Persistent Analytics: Your selected timeframes in the Analytics view now stick with you as you navigate between the Leaderboard and other pages, making deep-dives much less repetitive.
🐍 Core Engine Upgrades
Under the hood, the Python trading engine received significant maturity updates to ensure execution is bulletproof.
- Precision Fills: We’ve deployed a new "Shared Position Calculator" that unifies logic across the backend. This resolves rare edge cases involving high-frequency trades that occur in the same millisecond, ensuring your position state is always perfectly synced with the exchange.
- Smart Rate Limits: To better support institutional users and trading groups, we’ve optimized our registration handling to better accommodate users sharing IP addresses.
📚 Documentation
- Better Help Center: The "Advanced Features" and "Mental Models" sections have been reorganized with improved sidebar navigation, making it easier to find the technical details you need.
