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.
