Wes,
There is a possible source of data outages that I've not investigated. It's
TS6. As everyone using the software is probably on the same version and I
can't definitively blame TRAD as their servers aren't publicly broadcasting
any diagnostics, TS6 can't be ruled out. Whichever way you look at it
though, TRAD is the source of the problem.

Ok Colin, I see now what you are saying. I have not had the experience you
outline. Most of the time when I do not get a data feed, the problem is not
with TRAD. However, if their software has problems, then the connectivity
would be fine. It would not surprise me that they have software issues since
they are new to this business and growing.
Sincerely,
Wes Williams
