Kiyotaka Summer 2025

It's been an incredibly busy few months here at Kiyotaka, and we're thrilled to share the fruits of our labor with you. In June, our team rolled out major enhancements to both the frontend and backend architecture, culminating in the launch of Kiyotaka V2. This new version isn't just an upgrade—it's now the most lightweight order book charting application available, delivering unparalleled efficiency without compromising on features.

Big Wins in Speed & Efficiency 🔧

We've completely reengineered the platform from the ground up, and the results speak for themselves. Kiyotaka V2 is 4x more efficient overall, boasts a 60% smaller memory footprint, and renders charts 2x faster than its predecessor. To achieve this, we focused on optimizing every aspect of the system: reducing CPU usage by an impressive 75%, halving memory consumption, and slashing rendering times across the board.

All these improvements are available to everyone, completely free of charge. Whether you're a casual trader or a power user, you can experience the full power of V2 without any barriers.

Performance at a Glance: V1 vs. V2

Performance At A Glance

To illustrate the impact of our optimizations, let's dive into a head-to-head comparison between Kiyotaka V1 and V2. By default, V2 now renders up to approximately 2 million data points in 4K mode and 1 million in HD mode on initial load. Even with this massive volume of data, our footprint remains significantly lighter than competing platforms.

In idle state, V1 often showed irregular CPU spikes and sustained high memory usage, even without active data streaming. This overhead frequently led to UI lag during intense trading sessions.

V2, on the other hand, maintains consistently low CPU usage with zero unexpected spikes. Memory consumption has dropped dramatically, and interactions like zooming or panning across millions of data points feel instantaneous and buttery smooth.

Deeper Insights into Market Depth

One of the standout features of Kiyotaka V2 is its ability to peer deeper into order books than ever before. In 4K mode, we stream real-time updates across a staggering 7,000 price levels. This reveals intricate liquidity patterns and position shifts far beyond the current market price—precisely where major market moves often begin to form.

For context, here's how we stack up against the competition:

  • Kiyotaka 4K: 7,000 levels
  • TradingLite: 5,000 levels
  • Other Platforms: Typically around 800 levels

This level of depth is game-changing. Large traders frequently place orders deep in the book to conceal their strategies. With 7,000 levels of visibility, you can uncover accumulation patterns and liquidity walls that stay hidden on platforms limited to shallower views.

Revealing the Market's Microstructure

Kiyotaka's 4K mode doesn't just show more—it reveals the market's underlying microstructure in ways that are typically invisible. While some platforms claim deeper books, their data beyond the top levels is often stale and infrequently updated. Not here: Every liquidity change across all 7,000 levels refreshes with sub-second latency. With Kiyotaka, you're not just viewing the top of the book; you're watching millions of aggregated data points from the entire depth, where institutional positions quietly build.

This granular combination of price levels and extreme depth empowers you to track order flow from the spread down to the formation of massive walls. It's the difference between merely observing the market and truly understanding its structure.

Both 4K and HD modes are free for all users. If you're on an older device, we recommend starting with HD mode for optimal performance. For those seeking maximum granularity and detail, switch to 4K—it's designed to handle it effortlessly.

What's Next for the V2 Adventure? 🚀

We're immensely grateful to our community for helping Kiyotaka grow through your referrals, feedback, and support. We'll continue to refine and enhance performance in the months ahead. In the coming weeks, keep an eye out for exclusive surprises tailored for our most active referrers. And yes, footprint visualization is on the horizon—we're excited about our unique approach to tracking order flow, and we think you'll love it.

Thank you for being part of this journey. If you haven't tried V2 yet, head over to the platform now and experience the difference. As always, your input drives us forward—drop us a line with your thoughts!
