"I was on the phone with a friend who uses CQG and right after the Fed announcement, CQG was as much as 30 seconds behind DTN.IQ. Some quotes were off by as much as 15-18 cents. Your feed never missed a beat." - Comment from Roger

"I noticed that ******* quotes locked up shortly after the interest rate announcement yesterday while yours stayed stable." - Comment from Ron in Utah

"This is an excellent value, the system is generous (allowing for 500 stocks) and stable (and really is tick-by-tick), and the support is fantastic." - Comment from Shirin via Email

"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

What does that indicate? My volume charts are 117649 and unless there are large blocks going through am I missing any ticks? Thank you. Best regards, Tim TIM The measure of a man is not how many times he gets knocked down.... but how many times he gets back up.

A screenshot would definately help if you can post one. Are you looking at a constant volume chart, or just the bar chart of volume on a particular chart? Jay Froscheiser DTN - Trading Markets
DTN_CurtisT -DTN Technical Support- Posts: 323 Joined: Jun 14, 2007	Posted: Nov 11, 2008 10:14 AM Msg. 5 of 11 Hello Tim, depending on what type of Volume chart you are looking at yes it will do this. what happens is if a really large trade goes through that is higher than what you are looking at then the chart will basically flat line at the same price until it finishes that trade. so if you are looking at a 50 volume chart and a 1000 volume comes through at a price of 3.50 it will stay at 3.50 until it has plotted all of that trade, another way to look at it is every 50 points of volume it will create a bar then it will make a new bar for the same data for 50 points and so on and so on until that 1000 volume has been plotted. This will also happen on range charts as well if you look at them. Thanks. Curtis Thompson curtis.thompson@dtn.com Trading Markets Customer Service 1-800-397-7000 x3614

It is on SYMBOL C.TCK.B and I have noticed it on other charts as well at different times since I started using DTN. I don't know how to post a chart but if you have an e-mail address I can send it to you.

raven4ns -Interested User- Posts: 65 Joined: May 17, 2006	Posted: Nov 11, 2008 10:21 AM Msg. 7 of 11 Hi Curtis, It's possible there are some large transactions going through on C.TCK.B because the volume is quite heavy for it. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't losing data which would make my CV charts useless. Thank you Curtis.

raven4ns -Interested User- Posts: 65 Joined: May 17, 2006	Posted: Nov 11, 2008 02:21 PM Msg. 9 of 11 Hi Curtis, Does DTN offer the CDN market broken down into sectors, industries etc? I know you can get that kind of data for the U.S. markets but wasn't sure about the CDN markets. It would be nice to have such data so you could scan for the strongest stocks in the strongest sectors..etc. Thank you as always for your help. Kindest regards, Tim TIM The measure of a man is not how many times he gets knocked down.... but how many times he gets back up.

raven4ns -Interested User- Posts: 65 Joined: May 17, 2006	Posted: Nov 11, 2008 03:03 PM Msg. 11 of 11 Hello, That would be great. Thank you. May I also request that DTN, when a chart is opened, fill in the historical data without having to force a backfill. It is a pain having to manually refresh the data so we get all the historical data for our charts every time we open them. I should mention that I use Constant Volume charts. This would be a wonderful feature and cut down on your clients workload. Thank you. Tim TIM The measure of a man is not how many times he gets knocked down.... but how many times he gets back up.
