LG, I don't dispute at all that people are having problems, and by the sounds of it, more than I am (knock on wood). I was referred to QCharts and have sent my fair share over as well. I guess we are our own worst enemies! ;) However, I'll keep my positive outlook and expectations as long as I can! If there is money to be made in this part of the business, then it seems to me that Quote.com is about the best positioned provider around. I continue to assume/hope this is true and that the issues are transitory in nature. PS, for a while I was using other services - I had both a RealTick III setup (my stock broker uses it for a trading platform, my futures broker thankfully does not) as well as a seperate PCQuote Hyperfeed service - both had their own problems and my level of satisfaction with the RealTick III setup was very low. I am most definitely not a fan of Townsend Analytics TA_SRV infrastructure and it seems that PCQuote's implementation of this is bad (or perhaps the norm). Plus Townsend can't even calculate ADX correctly, and I won't list from my log the extensive failures experienced in the last 12 months - much more than anything I have personally experienced with Quote.com. Based on my experience interacting with a number of vendors it seems that Quote.com could come out of this smelling by far the best, and I hope for you, me and all Quote.com users that turns out to be the case.
