Jay,
Interesting you should mention no record of anyone with delays. I received
several emails in response to my query on delays that identified similar
problems. They seem to believe Quote.com is the problem's origin, and
implied that Quote.com is aware of the problem, even if no solution is at
hand.
Specific to my situation, which includes intermediate software between
Qfeed, and TradeStation, i.e. DynaStore, my TradeStation timeclock in the
lower right of my TS2K workspaces was, on Thursday, increasingly behind the
actual exchange time by as much as 15+ minutes. My workstation clock is set
to exchange time and therefore it seems there was some significant delay in
those time stamped packets reaching my CPU.
I became aware of the problem listening to LOS Squawkbox, a live S&P pit
broadcast, streaming through to my same CPU that my data was updating
minutes late!
On Friday, using only QCharts to follow the markets I did NOT notice any
delays, but I was not scrutinizing TradeStation & the feed as I was on
Thursday.
Perhaps this is resolved at this point. I hope we are past the worst of the
Y2K issues to hit the internet trading/RT data feed community!
Thanks for your attention to this!
Eliot
