Post From: DTC issues with CQG

Hello,

I have developed a python JSON client for DTC and am using it with CQG data.

It's been working great, but last week I noticed a gap of over an hour in F.US.CLEU18 (CQG):

Historical data request result:

Epoch    TimeUTC
1532942177  2018-07-30 09:16:17+00:00
1532942177  2018-07-30 09:16:17+00:00 <-- Nothing after this timestamp for an hour and a half
1532947910  2018-07-30 10:51:50+00:00
1532947912  2018-07-30 10:51:52+00:00

These issues seem to be specific to CQG + DTC because:
1\ I ran the same request on SC Data service (symbol CLU18) and there was no gap.
2\ For symbol F.US.CLEU18, on a tick chart in Sierra Chart there is no gap.
3\ For symbol F.US.CLEU18, when I export the data via text document there is no gap.

Is there something I can do to fix this?

Secondly, I've noticed that frequently my DTC requests return data with unsorted epoch timestamps for CQG data. This is problematic -- if I sort this price series, the sorted data may shuffle the prices such that the price path does not follow the same path it did in real time.

Version 1781

Thanks
