Re: [RT] Tick Reliability

My 5 daily ES  tick totals for this week are as follows, using QFeed,
through Dynastore into TS2K. I know it's not the comparison John O. wanted,
but I find it interesting, and others may as well.

Mon: 133543
Tues: 136806
Wed: 142481
Thurs: 129696
Fri: 92500

FWIW, my experience this week was that Qfeed had problems efficiently
getting their data transmitted in a timely manner, so I'm not surprised my
tick counts are lower.

Not happy about it either. On weeks like this, heavy volume & high
volatility, at varying times when the market has been moving, Qfeed's
servers have been slowing dramatically, i.e. to 2-10 seconds behind. A
'normal' transmission time for me, is well under 1 second.

It's been very frustrating, manually switching servers several times in each
instance, trying to locate a stable and timely source, all the while
managing my trades.
