Most retail traders don’t realize this truth, not all prices are live. Some apps are showing delayed feeds, aggregated pricing, or even manipulated spreads that vary by platform. This means your Solana price might be 15 seconds (or more) behind reality.
- Free trading apps often show delayed data because real-time feeds cost money.
- Some apps add a spread buffer to cover their fees — so you might see an extra $1–2 difference on buys or sells.
- Others are just slow, plain, and simple. The infrastructure can’t keep up with volume spikes.
What You Can Do About It
- Compare at least 2–3 sources before making a move.
- Choose exchanges with transparent, real-time order books.
- Avoid apps that don’t tell you if the feed is delayed (they’re hiding something).
If your app doesn’t show the exact time of the price feed, it’s probably hiding a lag.
Don’t let lazy trading apps steal your edge. When it comes to coins like Solana — where 3 minutes can mean 8% swings — you need the truth, not the illusion.
