We are aware of the EUREX data feed being down at this time and we are working to resolve it.

Please do not make any further postings. We will update this thread.


There is a physical connectivity issue to the T7 network switch.

We are in a call with deutsche boerse at this time. They are checking the circuit. They are directing this to their network people.

We will acknowledge, that we did get notification hours ago about this being down (a notification of inactivity), but it was right at the time the market was closed during the night, so we just dismissed it, thinking it was just simply normal inactivity at the time.

Anyway, it is the morning, in Germany, and Deutsche Boerse has been notified. They have been told this is very urgent.

We have emailed them and we are going to email them again all of the technical details.

Our network collegues checked - there has been a short flap last night at 02:36 CET, and it's up and stable since then, as shown in the logs below:

2023 Nov 29 02:36:31 RFRA3711 %ETHPORT-5-IF_DOWN_LINK_FAILURE: Interface Ethernet1/13 is down (Link failure)
2023 Nov 29 02:38:15 RFRA3711 %ETHPORT-5-IF_UP: Interface Ethernet1/13 is up in Layer3

They must not be looking at the switch, where the fiber cable to our server terminates at. We are going to request that they ask the co-location facility, to investigate this. Only EUREX can open this ticket with the co-location facility.

At this point we are just waiting on Deutsche Boerse. We are reliant on them to investigate and resolve the problem. We are calling them again.

We just called Deutsche Boerse back. They said a technician is investigating the problem. They are working on it. We apologize, but at this point we just have to wait for them.

And for the record, we restarted the server, and disabled and reenabled the network adapter multiple times in case there is anything we can do to get this working. But clearly the problem is not on our side.

And once they get the connectivity back there is nothing more we have to do. The EUREX connections will just automatically reestablish themselves.

You may see some issues with market depth data due to the fact this is an order by order feed and we missed tracking the orders since the open but that will substantially correct itself automatically.

Guys, this is quite serious! Not only its an opportunity miss for automated trading but a loss for existing trades, this is not acceptable and we should hold them to account!
I can see the EUREX feed is working perfectly fine in TRadingview all throughout. There should have been some backup planned even if the Marketdepth feed is not available, at least the live rates (without depth) should have been ticking, everything has been Off since 1:40 AM !

@ShuvFlowTrader - let's focus on fixing and solving, instead of complaining and blaming

I'm sure SierraChart is doing a great job here, and they will keep us posted on any consequences if appropriate

@User59879 I agree on focusing on fixing and solving, but @ShuvFlowTrader also made a point that there should be an emergency backup solution for this kind of situation. Very annoying.

Exactly my point here @Niko. Fixing this problem is not in our hands but as an User, we should be perfectly entitled to voice our concerns when other providers are running fine. It's not a blame on SierraChart as they are saying the issue is caused by some EUREX network switch failure, but we need to learn from it to improve .. we need to have Live rates during market trading hours, a complete outage is not acceptable and I believe we can better design our options.
Thank you

In a world of automation and monitoring an outage of serveral hours in a critical business is not acceptable but this situation definitely hits a blind spot... will it come up again in the future? Unfortunately, we as customers cannot influence this, except with our future decisions for or against someone/something.

Fully agree. It´s a paid service, and therefore we can expect that redundancy and reliability measures are taken to avoid such long lasting outages. Same goes for Sierrachart. SC booked a paid service at Eurex and all the connectivity providers in between and can expect to have the service available for their end users (us traders) according to their contracts.
Something can happen all the time, the key is how to manage such incidents.

Something strange happened in Frankfurt, yesterday big VPN provider lost all servers there, because switch failure and now SC EUREX data is down. I don't think that so critical services shouldn't be without backup.

well you should always be able to call your broker to have a trade closed "manually"....
it is rather a pitty to miss such a nice trend day... but sh... happens.

I now get data rolling in Time & Sales of the March 2024 Bund contract, real time data, but not in the charts or the DOM.
And nothing anywhere re the December 2023 Bund contract ...
I trade via CQG WebAPI with Denali data.

I agree with your comments. I'm trade in Europe. I'm with SC for 18 years now,I have never experienced something like this.
I used to trade with 2 Brokers and 2 platform, I simplyfied things and now SC is all I have.
Perhaps going back to a double system to have some backup is to be considerd again if problems like this are reccurent.

Let see and wait, I still believe this is a very exceptionnal problem and surely SC will learn from it.

Sometimes it's too late, especially on DAX.

Anyway. EUREX it's piece of crap. I face other problem hmm two years ago when EUREX was down twice in short period.
I only stick to EUREX products, because it fit my time zone, nothing else.
