The most annoying thing when monitoring the market in the early morning is that "lag": candlesticks not moving, slow balance refresh, on-chain data seeming like it's offline… Actually, many times it's not your poor internet, but the indexer/Subgraph behind the scenes or the RPC you're using being rate-limited. To put it simply, the node is busy responding to your requests, and the indexer still has to organize on-chain events into tables you can directly query. If any link in this chain gets clogged, the front end will freeze for a few seconds.
I've learned my lesson now: small trades for trial and error are okay, but when data stalls, I first treat it as untrustworthy. Better to wait a bit longer before placing an order, rather than being impulsive due to fake delays and chasing the market. Especially with this wave of Meme + celebrity-driven attention shifts, the worst is thinking you can still push, only to find that data delay becomes the final straw… I'll share a detailed review tomorrow, but for now, that's it.
