Dan, Can you please explain what the difference is using Global Scan Rt vs Global Scan Delayed. I thought the only difference was the 20 min delay? Is it still Global or only a handful of selected stocks? Dan

I agree with many of your points. I left to find a data feed that I could depend on in the first and last critical hours of trading. That is when RTtrader's feed is the worst. I am using RT as a backup for the charting purposes only, but have noticed that the feed is better than 3 months ago, when I left. But in the first hour, comparing the volume traded on stocks like DELL, RT is 200k to 500k behind compared to my other service and broker snap quotes, and the RT clock is in sync with realtime....leading me to believe that the problem is on their end. While I feel that RT is improving.....it has been a long time to wait. Interquote's data feed has been flawless in 3 months but the charting and overall software program leaves alot to be desired, compared to RT. Just to let RT know of the competition, IQ has been studying the RT software and is currently taking feedback from users about adding Level II for an extra $50 a month The competitive standard is being raised everyday, RT!
