Nasdaq Data Feed slow and not providing real time market depth

Hello, I waited for Nasdaq data feed for more than a year and subscribed to it yesterday. It is taking a lot of time to update the stock charts on real time intraday basis while keep displaying the message "Waiting to download the data ...". Also, it does not provide the Level 2 Market Depth.

I have Service Package 11 and Interactive Brokers Trading Account. So I think I am good with the requirements. How do we check that Nasdaq data feed is running and how do we make it faster ?

Regards

Let us examine this issue with one single symbol. Close all other charts except for one.

Follow the instructions here to clear the Message Log:
Message Log: Clearing the Message Log

Open a chart for the symbol you have an issue with. Tell us that symbol of the chart.

Disconnect from the data feed with "File >> Disconnect".

Connect to the data feed with "File >> Connect to Data Feed".

After the connection and after about 10 seconds, provide a copy of the Message Log following these instructions:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=PostingInformation.php#MessageLog

We will then determine what the problem is.

Hello, here is the copy of message log for the symbol MSFT. The Nasdaq data feed is taking too much time to update the chart for every symbol. In fact, the Sierra Real-Time Data Feed was much faster. Also, the Market Depth window and DOM are open but you don't see the Market Depth (Chart Screenshot link provided below).

For day trading purposes, the Nasdaq Total View data feed is useless if it takes that long to update the chart(s).
Please look into it and advise. Regards

You are using interactive brokers data! Not the Denali NASDAQ TotalView!

Follow the instructions here (Starting with step 7):
How to Use New NASDAQ Total View Data Feed | Post: 293421

This is not the right symbol. It needs to end with -NQTV.

Hello, I am using the IBKR Trading Account and have selected the "Allow Support for Sierra Chart Data Feeds" to Yes in the "Data/Trade Service Settings". I have also completed the NASDAQ Exchange Agreement...

I also use the IBKR account for Future trading on CME (ES Mini etc.).

What else I need to do to start using the Denali Data feed for Futures and Nasdaq Total View for trading with the IBKR account?

Please guide me on this process .... Its been a while since I subscribed to the Denali Feed but to my surprise it is still IBKR?

Regards

With Interactive Brokers, you will need to use the Trade and Current Quote Symbol and set the main symbol as xxx-NQTV and the Trade and Current Quote Symbol as the IB symbol.

For example, in the above, you would use the main symbol of MSFT-NQTV and then set your Trade and Current Quote Symbol to MSFT.

Keep in mind, you may need to use a longer format IB symbol, such as MSFT-STK-SMART-USD. Refer to the information here:
Interactive Brokers Symbols: Stock Format

Refer to the documentation here regarding the Trade and Current Quote Symbol:
Chart Settings: Trade and Current Quote Symbol (text box) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)
