Hi, I am watching the Time & Sales for ES/NQ futures against my system clock. Generally the prints stream continuously, but a few times a day there will be an ~10 second delay when no new prints are received. When the Time & Sales resumes I will see that there were actually many prints during the delayed period. E.g. at 10:41:30 the Time & Sales stream halts, then at 10:41:40 it resumes and I will see that there were prints at 10:41:31, 10:41:32, ..., 10:41:39, but they are all received in one burst at 10:41:40. This often happens during fast markets but not always, which makes me think it's a problem with my data feed or internet connection rather than the exchange sending out the data late. (I doubt it's the exchange because if it was then so many big players would complain about it). I've tried the suggested solutions here but none of them fixed the problem: Prices / Data Falling Behind I am using the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed. My ISP is Verizon Fios, I live in NYC, my internet speed is usually around 400-500 Mbps, my computer is connected direct to the router with an ethernet cable, generally it's a fast & reliable setup. I'm thinking about trying to run an internet speedtest the moment I get a delay, but since it may only happen 1-2 times per hour it's hard to catch. I'm aware it's possible to get a dedicated business internet connection, but it's expensive and before I try that I want to rule out any problems/solutions I may be missing at your end. |
