"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

Author	Topic: Real Time data in 7min delay (13 messages, Page 1 of 1)
Eitzik -Interested User- Posts: 5 Joined: Feb 4, 2005	Posted: May 4, 2005 11:03 AM Msg. 1 of 13 yesterday 03-may-2005 at 14:15 or so NY time I had some problems getting REAL realtime data for stocks on the NASDAQ. I use Iqfeed and QoutTracker. I don't know how but I ended up getting real time data in a delay of about 7min for the rest of the day (till 16:00 NY time). Does that have anything to do with IQfeed servers? Has anyone encountered this problem? Eitzik

Eitzik -Interested User- Posts: 5 Joined: Feb 4, 2005	Posted: May 4, 2005 11:15 AM Msg. 3 of 13 let me understand that. So everyone who was connectet to IQfeed at that time got this data "playing" in real time but delayed 7min? what happens if I erase the data and do a tick by tick back fill? will I get the qoutes with the right timing?

It only effected streaming quote data, and backfilling from the servers would return data that was real time. Jay Froscheiser DTN Market Access, LLC.

Hardware failure, software failure, network failure, market volume, customer load, etc. We have taken corrective actions and do not expect any further issues like the ones experienced on Tuesday.

skunk -DTN Evangelist- Posts: 249 Joined: May 7, 2004	Posted: May 5, 2005 09:16 AM Msg. 10 of 13 And its correct again. Another "hardware failure" that mysteriously repaired itself as soon as the market slows down?
skunk -DTN Evangelist- Posts: 249 Joined: May 7, 2004	Posted: May 5, 2005 09:39 AM Msg. 11 of 13 And as soon as the trade rate increases the time updates start lagging... Please fix this, or at least do your testing on non production systems PLEASE!
skunk -DTN Evangelist- Posts: 249 Joined: May 7, 2004	Posted: May 9, 2005 09:03 AM Msg. 12 of 13 Better than last week. But certainly not fixed Lags are "only" about 15 seconds at times of high trade rate now (10:00 10:01 ET) Edited by skunk on May 9, 2005 at 09:04 AM
