Delayed account_positions

Potential delay of snapshot endpoints and best practice for reconstructing local state

Question: My account_positions/account_orders updates are sometimes delayed. What should I do to reliably construct a local state based on Pacifica's WS feeds? Answer: account_positions and account_orders are snapshot-driven channels. They show your current state but can be delayed under high load. For real-time updates with no delay, use our event-driven channels:

• account_trades - update on every fill as it happens

• account_order_updates - update on every order state change

We recommend using our snapshot-driven channels for initialization/checks, and our events-driven channels to construct a real-time local state.
