Desk Notes: Building a Watchlist That Survives AMC Bursts
Not financial advice. Verify claims independently.
From the RT/SOFT engineering journal:
AMC bursts fail watchlists in predictable ways:
- Entire list re-renders on each tick
- Stale closures overwrite newer quotes
- Skeleton states flash because suspense boundaries are too coarse
Hardening
- Per-row subscriptions with stable keys
- Conflate to animation frames
- Keep last-good quote on screen during reconnect
- Prefetch call metadata (4:30pm ET) so the panel is not empty at the open of the call
Rehearse with Micron on the calendar and Stock Picks as the practice venue.
