WebSocket Connection Limits
WebSocket Connection Limits define the maximum number of concurrent persistent connections a user can maintain with an exchange. WebSockets are used for real-time market data streaming and order updates, which are essential for low-latency trading.
If an exchange sets these limits too low, it can hinder a trader's ability to monitor multiple assets or execute complex strategies. Conversely, the exchange must set these limits to manage its own server resources and maintain system performance.
Managing these connections is a balancing act between providing high-quality, real-time data and ensuring the stability of the exchange's communication infrastructure. It is a technical parameter that directly impacts the user's trading capabilities.
