How the Limit Scanner Handles Multi-Exchange Data
A look under the hood of the limit scanner architecture. Data loads in sequential waves, starting with Binance, which causes visible fluctuations in limit counts during each cycle. Real-time updates deploy nightly with server restarts every 15 minutes. Processing all 11 exchanges simultaneously would exceed server capacity, so filtering constraints are applied immediately — this means the scanner may occasionally miss orders that appear and disappear between wave cycles. The plan: launch the order book view after refinement, then gradually relax filters and increase speed while monitoring server load. This tool is designed to surface opportunities — the actual trade execution still happens in your terminal.
