Gibbons,
Here is a problem that maybe you will be interested in....
I did the following test because I thought I was handed a market fill at a very wrong price. My normal mode is to fire off a buy at the market while watching QCharts 1 min chart of the ES99Z as well as a T&S window that are only 2 inches apart on my screen.
Here is what I see while looking at the same ES99Z symbol on 2 different computers........BOTH of them connected to QCharts at the same time yesterday.
First a little background,
Computer A is running on a dial up modem at 49333,
Computer B is on a diferent ISP running at 31000,,
Both computers are running your latest Beta
Both are using the same Workspace,,,although B is on a smaller screen as it is a laptop.
T&S window with the es99z in it displaying time and price on both machines,,,,,,
One machine displays 15:38:42 and the price......from server X,,,
The other machine displays 15:39:48 and a different price...from server Y,,the price is close if you count 1.00 to 1.50 pts close.
This brings me to,,,,when I see a price on server X ,,,I think it's correct,,,,not knowing that server Y has allready sent that price and time to others. So now I get a fill at a much different price,,,because the price I was watching is aprox 1 min old.
Now I assume that S&P Comstock is sending what the have without delay,,,,is it possible that somewhere there is a car parked on the fire hose ?
I tried to do the same test this morning and for some reason your system kept me out.
Thanks
