"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum

"My broker in Davenport suggested I give you a try as he uses your service and says its the best." - Comment from Bill via RT Chat

"IQ feed works very well, does not have all of the normal interruptions I have grown used to on *******" - Comment from Mark

"I had always used ******* but for the past 2 weeks have been trying DTN IQFeed. Customer support has been extraordinary. They call just to make sure your problem hasn't recurred." - Comment from Public Forum

"You have an excellent feed. Very few spikes for Spot Forex." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"I ran your IQFeed DDE vs. my broker vs. a level II window for some slow-moving options. I would see the level II quote change, then your feed update instantaneously. My broker's DDE, however, would take as much as 30 seconds to update. I am not chasing milliseconds, but half a minute is unacceptable." - Comment from Rob

"I have to tell you though that using the IQFeed API is about the easiest and cleanest I have seen for some time." - Comment from Jim

"Thanks for all of your help. Great customer service deserves to be recognized which one the reasons I've been a customer of DTN for over 10 years!" - Comment from Stuart

"I'm very glad I switched to IQFeed. It's working perfectly with no lag, even during fast market conditions." - Comment from Andy via Email

"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

Author	Topic: Dow Jones news delay (2 messages, Page 1 of 1)
fschroer -Interested User- Posts: 6 Joined: Jul 26, 2006	Posted: Jul 26, 2006 11:46 PM Msg. 1 of 2 I'm receiving a trial of the Dow Jones news feed via satellite, and have noticed that the feed appears to be delayed at certain times of the day. At the start of trading, the DTN file header timestamp for a given news story is generally within 1 or 2 seconds of the time I receive the news. Usually about an hour later, the lag increases to a half hour or more, then returns to normal. For example, on 7/26, a news file was received at 10:29:46, and the header timestamp was 10:29:46. The next news file with a header timestamp of 10:30:35 wasn't received until 10:48:11. Do you know why this could be happening?

With the increases in market data, you will notice delays in news during peak market hours. This is because we give a higher priority to quote traffic. The Satellite feed is a fixed bandwidth service. Thus, we can only fit so much data down the pipe at a time. If the market volume is taking up the majority of the bandwidth, other information will not be able to get through as timely. Our Internet services don't have this issue because they aren't limited by the fixed bandwidth of a satellite channel. Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets
