These pictures are from NxCore servers receiving real-time market data from all the exchanges.
They demonstrate the choppiness of real-time market data coming from the exchanges.
The green is the bandwidth, in MBPS -- you can see the scale on the right side of each chart.
Your own NxCore graph should be very spiky also -- spikiness in market data is good, it shows that you are receiving truly real-time data.
The graphs below contain all the data being processed by NxCore servers -- 90% of that data is option quotes.
Your own charts may be different depending on the data you are receiving.
