Hi Alan, Yeah, I had heard that you have switched to QCharts and was feeling sorry for you, given how it's worked for me the past two trading sessions. Given what our buddy Matt from the DTF thread is saying, I'm really wondering what's going on with my QCharts feed... I'm shifting to different servers using CTL-ALT-N, and you can see the server name changing at the bottom of the screen, but no charts will appear -- like half the day today. I have a rock-solid ISP (www.walltech.com) directly on the internet backbone (their packet loss report is right on their website), and a wide-open T1 Frame Relay line out to my location. I've been running other quote feeds over the same internet feed simultaneously for years (e.g. RT3) with no problems. The data source itself is OK, because my S&P Comstock satellite feed is also rock solid through all this (no outages today) -- it's just QCharts that has been so spotty. I'm not ready to point the finger at their servers, since others seem to be getting good/reliable price feeds from them. It's just that I've never had an internet-based charting package with such flakey price/chart-delivery behaviour, so I'm trying to figure out why. -Steve
