1 minute bars lag behind automic clock

[John Bowles <johnbowles@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Although I have TradeStation end of day 4.0 I am using Qcharts for
intraday and I am using 1 minute bars. Qchart tick data often comes in
stamped 10 to 20 seconds behind the atomic clock time. On some days it
gets way behind even though I keep switching servers to the one with a
good ping value. I am always checking this and checking the Qcharts
prices against the (IB) execution software prices.

How about the online TradeStation at TradeStation.com. If you open an
account with them has anyone noticed much delay? Can you switch servers?
Are the charts and execution prices receiving data from different
sources as a means of verification? I don't suppose there are any build
in warnings if the ticks start coming in more than 5 seconds behind the
atomic clock or maybe just a display item that shows the amount of the
delay?

Thanks,
John.
