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

"I have been using IQFeed now for a few years in MultiCharts and I have zero complaints. Very, very rare to have any data hiccups or anything at all go wrong." - Comment from Public Forum

"Version 4.0.0.2 has been working well for me and I appreciate that it is now a much tighter client to work with. I feel I can go to press with my own application and rely on a stable platform" - Comment from David in IA.

"DTN feed was the only feed that consistently matched Bloomberg feed for BID/ASK data verification work these past years......DTN feed is a must for my supply & demand based trading using Cumulative Delta" - Comment from Public Forum Post

"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 just wanted to tell you what a fine job you have been doing. While *******, from what I hear, has been down and out, off and on, IQ feed has held like a champ this week." - Comment from Shirin

"Thanks for the great product and support. During this week of high volume trading, my QuoteTracker + IQ Feed setup never missed a beat. Also, thanks for your swiftness in responding to data issues. I was on ******* for a few years before I made the switch over early this year, and wish I had done it a long time ago." - Comment from Ken

"I would just like to say that IQFeed version 4 is running very well and I am very happy with its performance. I would also like to extend a big thanks for the fast and efficient help that I always receive. My questions and concerns are always addressed promptly. Way to go!" - Comment from Josh in CO.

"Everything is working great ! Very impressive client. The news refreshes better and is more pertinent than the ******* feed I paid $ 100/month for. I Also like the charts a lot." - Comment from Leon

"I am very happy I changed. I love the product, but more so I am thrilled with Tech Support. You are knowledgeable, polite, pleasant and professional." - Comment from Pat

Author	Topic: Massive data spike ESH8 and LFH8 (13 messages, Page 1 of 1)
Pantani -Interested User- Posts: 19 Joined: Dec 12, 2007	Posted: Jan 8, 2008 02:03 AM Msg. 1 of 13 I have massive data spikes on ESH8 - on my charts the index was trading above 1960.00 for the last hour yesterday (should be 1420)!!! These spikes have continued overnight. I have massive spikes for the entire afternoon session of LFH8 on Friday 4 Jan. I have deleted all data & refreshed multiple times and re-booted Ensign multiple times but still have those spikes. These spikes have been an ongoing problem since joining DTN and Ensign. I am close to giving up on both as neither company seems to have any explanation or solution.

DTN_Ken_Heinze -Interested User- Posts: 49 Joined: May 4, 2004	Posted: Jan 8, 2008 06:30 AM Msg. 3 of 13 I am not able to see any spikes on these charts at this time. I do keep an @es# chart running all night on ensign and it does not show any unusual characteristics. I will post more information here as it becomes available Ken Heinze, Market Access Customer Service
Pantani -Interested User- Posts: 19 Joined: Dec 12, 2007	Posted: Jan 8, 2008 07:06 AM Msg. 4 of 13 Hi Ken ... thanks for the response. I opened a 5min ES# chart ... and yes... there are no spikes. I tried a 5min LF# (FTSE) chart also ... guess what? ..... no spikes!! How can that be? Last quarter I had masses of problems with spikes on ESU7 and was tearing my hair out trying to get a solution. You may have stumbled on that solution. But why should the quarterly contract be corrupting? Is this a data feed problem or and Ensign problem? Ensign can offer no explanation however. Of course, I wouldn't expect you to comment on a third party. I would, however, be grateful for any thoughts you might have.

At this point, our best bet is to look at the data with different software, so that we can determine if the problem lies with the feed or with the software. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. Kind regards, Sarah

DTN_Ken_Heinze -Interested User- Posts: 49 Joined: May 4, 2004	Posted: Jan 9, 2008 07:00 AM Msg. 9 of 13 Are you also using Ensign? or is it a different program... I can see all the data from 1/08 on a 5 min. Ensign Chart. (without any spikes up or down) --- There is a spike filter in Ensign which can be found on the data tab when you double left click on the chart. Ken Heinze, Market Access Customer Service
Pantani -Interested User- Posts: 19 Joined: Dec 12, 2007	Posted: Jan 9, 2008 07:08 AM Msg. 10 of 13 Ken ... as a point of interest.... ALL my charts have the spike filter selected and it seems to make no difference whatsover to this particular problem.
DTN_Ken_Heinze -Interested User- Posts: 49 Joined: May 4, 2004	Posted: Jan 9, 2008 08:49 AM Msg. 11 of 13 I am still checking into why these charts are showing spikes - I left a 5 min @esh8 chart open overnight and it looked normal this morning. (I have a note in to Ensign support on this as well) Ken Heinze, Market Access Customer Service
