# Socket

**The Socket Feature** keeps your account connected in real time, so you receive updates instantly. This means changes to your open positions, trade history, equity, balance, and other key information are shown immediately without any delay.

The built-in **Trading Terminal**, which normally syncs every few seconds, will also benefit from this feature and update in real time when the socket is enabled.

To activate it, simply add the Socket Feature to the specific account where you want to receive real-time updates.
