  1. 🆕 Optimized Position Dashboard Server Query – The Position Dashboard page load times have been excessively high due to a large number of queries against the database when calculating a contract’s unrealized margin.

The response time of the query reduced from 15-20 seconds to 800ms-1s. You can see in the attached screenshot the immediate reduction in response time for this page when the update was pushed. The large number of database calls accounted for 10s of execution time, with the optimized version the database calls account for 50ms of processing time.

11/16/2022​

  1. 🐛 Fixed Financial Swap (Derivative) Exposure Logic– Derivatives were showing the incorrect volume exposures for buys and sales. The logic just needed to be swapped.

This is expected to reduce the Position Dashboard page load time from 15 seconds to less than 1 second, a ~15X improvement. This performance improvement has taken up most of the development time for 11/16, around 10 hours, and is expected to be complete 11/17.
