Hello Eliot,
its a mystery how datafeeds vary. I follow Qfeed on one machine via
DSL and another machine with FutureSource satelliate. I watch nothing
but SP mini's and few indices. Qfeed had two stoppages this week I
noticed each for 5 min or so. Other than that, qfeed is consistently
faster and FS by 2-5 seconds, same as TS6 and my brokers trading
software. FS had 15 min sunspot outage.
I won't daytrade mini's or anything else without two redundant
systems. As Rosanne Rosannadanna said: "Its always somethin'."
Best regards,
Jim Johnson mailto:jejohn@xxxxxxxxxxx
