"You have an excellent product !!!!!!" - Comment from Arely

"DTN has never given me problems. It is incredibly stable. In fact I've occasionally lost the data feed from Interactive Brokers, but still been able to trade because I'm getting good data from DTN." - Comment from Leighton

"I am a hedge fund manager here. It’s funny, I have a Bloomberg terminal and a Bridge feed, but I still like having my DTN feed!" - Comment from Feras

"I used to have *******, but they are way more money for the same thing. I have had no probs with data from DTN since switching over." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"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: Pauses & slow data off the open? (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)
adrian -Interested User- Posts: 28 Joined: Oct 24, 2008	Posted: Apr 23, 2010 09:00 AM Msg. 1 of 4 I'm using QuoteTracker and several times each morning my IQFeed feed will stop getting data or will lag badly behind InteractiveBroker's data. I think it's IQFeed and not IB's problem because none of my charts update and I'm able to execute trades at the displayed NBBO on IB which may be 0.10 or 0.20 away from what IQFeed is showing (on a $25 stock like LVS). I experience the same thing when using custom applications so I don't think this is a QuoteTracker bug. My system stats show 60% Memory usage and none of my 4 cores show more than 70% usage so it's probably not a hardware issue (and, as I've said, IB is still updating). Is there a way of fixing or tracking down this problem?

I use SierraChart and never had any problems (tick charts of @ES, @NQ, @YM, USO, UNG, COMPX.X, INDU.X, SPX.XO, TICK.Z) . IQFeed and TWS go hand in hand, news events included. There might be an occasional discrepancy one way or the other, but nothing serious (in sub-second range).

Our customer service department should be able to help you identify the issue if you contact them via phone or chat.
