Async Thready is not spanning immedeatly

[nandhumca]

Hi,

In Account.PositionUpdate , I am initiating separate thread with below code to monitor the SL and PT orders. The Async thread it not starting immediately, it is taking almost 30seconds to span. How to span async thread immediately ?

ChartControl.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync(new Action(() => {
// monitoring code
} ));

Hello nandhumca,

Thank you for your post.

The InvokeAysc() call invokes the code in the body at the next thread availability. If there is some other part of your code that is looping or doing something repetitive where it is also dispatching the ChartControl, it could prevent your code in OnPositionUpdate from running quickly.

Could you provide a reduced sample of your script to show what you're doing in the InvokeAsync() part of the code, so we can get a better idea of what may be happening?

Thank you in advance.

my very first statement itself to print the timestamp. That line itself was executed afer 30+ seconds. If I pass the priority into InvokeAsync, that will trigger the async thread immediately ? if so which priority , i need to use ?

private void InternalPositionUpdate(object sender, PositionEventArgs e)
{​
PrintLogAll(string.Format(DateTime.Now.ToString("y yyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff") + " OnPosUpdate : " +" " + sender+ " "+ "Instrument: {0} MarketPosition: {1} AveragePrice: {2} Quantity: {3}",
e.Position.Instrument.FullName, e.MarketPosition, e.AveragePrice, e.Position.Quantity));​

ChartControl.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync(new Action(() => {
PrintLogAll(DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff") + " OnPosUpdate : ASYNC " +" " + sender+ " Async Start Time Pos");​
}));

}​

Hello nandhumca,

Thank you for your response.

From this snippet it isn't clear to me what could be causing the delay. If possible, could you please provide a reduced version of the script that demonstrates the issue for testing on our end?

When you are using this script, where you are submitting your orders from?

Do you have anything else applied to the chart when testing this out, or is just this script applied to the chart?

I look forward to assisting further.

I will share you one simple working indicator to reproduce the issue.
