Post From: GFDL data lagging

GFDL is better of the lot. Others are just worthless. You are right, GFDL connection has been a bit erratic recently. But there is no choice really.
As you know both IB and GFDL give snapshots data and not tick by tick. Gfdl claims 1 second snap shots and IB is little longer. Bid ask value is bound to differ but I believe it is OK for descretionery traders like me. I am sure it is not suitable for mechanical traders.
By the way, GFDL is not that bad with SC I dont know with other platforms.
GFDL does not provide back adjusted contracts on SC . I hv raised this issue but still not resolved. Also there is no tick back fill in GFDL.
