  5. Ladder Refresh Optimization Level A performance optimization that prevents unnecessary screen updates to reduce load on the application especially when running a large number of windows during busy market times. This is something you can change on the fly, we would not recommend ever going to disabled. In extreme busy markets we would look at possibly setting it to a slower setting. You really should not see any difference as the updates it is preventing should not affect the data you are seeing, if anything you should see an improvement.
