Price Display
Decide based on ticker count - TWS decides whether to use realtime or snapshot prices based on the number of tickers in the matrix. If the number of tickers exceeds your available market data limit, a snapshot is used. For information on how market data is allocated per account, see the Notes section of the Market Data overview page.
Realtime - realtime prices that continually refresh.
Snapshot - a static snapshot of prices at the time of the request. These prices do not refresh.
