Review the Current Alerts vs Fills Window
Use the refresh controls when you want to keep the current Alerts vs Fills comparison up to date during a session. The page refreshes review inputs; it does not place, route, or manage orders.
Before you enable refresh
Section titled “Before you enable refresh”- Open Alerts vs Fills.
- Select an Alpaca connection with valid credentials.
- Choose one symbol and a bounded date range.
- Load TradingView alerts from webhook history or a CSV.
- Confirm that the initial alert and fill counts are plausible before automating refreshes.
Auto-Refresh Data
Section titled “Auto-Refresh Data”Turn on Auto-Refresh Data to poll selected inputs at a fixed interval. The available intervals are 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes. The default interval is 10 seconds, but auto-refresh starts off.
Choose which inputs participate:
| Control | What the refresh updates |
|---|---|
| Market Data | Price and quote data used by the comparison |
| Trade History | Alpaca fill history |
| Portfolio Snapshot | Portfolio history and balances |
| Webhook Data | Captured TradingView webhook records |
Follow Current Time moves the end of the date range forward on each interval. Leave it off when you want to repeat refreshes against one fixed historical window.
Live Data Feed
Section titled “Live Data Feed”Live Data Feed is a separate Professional feature. It requires a selected Alpaca connection whose feed is reported as Premium or SIP. Enabling it also enables Auto-Refresh Data, Follow Current Time, and Market Data; those controls remain required while Live Data Feed is active.
An IEX connection can still support ordinary historical review, but it does not enable the streaming mode shown by this control.
Review one current window
Section titled “Review one current window”-
Load a fixed window manually and record its alert, fill, and matched counts.
-
Turn on only the sources you need. Use a slower interval for a historical window; use shorter polling only when the additional freshness is useful.
-
Enable Follow Current Time only if the end of the window should move. Otherwise, keep the same start and end timestamps so repeated results remain comparable.
-
Watch source counts before percentages. A falling match rate caused by newly arrived alerts has a different meaning from a rate change caused by different tolerance settings.
-
Open Show only problems and inspect the new unmatched rows. Record the raw timestamps, symbol, direction, and data source before proposing a cause.
-
Save or export evidence after the window has settled. Include the date range, timezone, source, and matching settings with any conclusion.
If the data does not update
Section titled “If the data does not update”- Confirm an Alpaca connection is selected and does not show an authentication error.
- Confirm Auto-Refresh Data is on and the intended source toggles are enabled.
- If Follow Current Time is off, check whether the fixed window actually contains new records.
- For Live Data Feed, confirm the account is Professional and the selected connection reports Premium or SIP rather than IEX.
- Use the manual refresh buttons to isolate whether one source is failing.
