Is it normal to see a 3 second data delay on the ES? I am using Denali data.

It does seem like as volume has dried up over the last couple of days the delay has increased. Also, after hours the delay seems to be worse maybe 10 seconds to 20 seconds at times. Thank you.

Yes this is normal because that is just indicating the delay between the current time and the last trade received. So it certainly the delay can go up significantly especially during the evening session.

And that calculation is also affected by your computers own clock. If it is not set correctly, then the delay calculation is simply wrong.
