"As a past ******* customer(and not a happy one), IQ Feed by DTN is a much better and cheaper product with great customer support. I have had no problems at all since switching over." - Comment from Public Forum

"Everything is working great ! Very impressive client. The news refreshes better and is more pertinent than the ******* feed I paid $ 100/month for. I Also like the charts a lot." - Comment from Leon

"I just wanted to tell you what a fine job you have been doing. While *******, from what I hear, has been down and out, off and on, IQ feed has held like a champ this week." - Comment from Shirin

"I've been using Neoticker RT with IQFeed for two months, and I'm very happy with both of the products (I've had IQFeed for two years with very few complaints). The service from both companies is exceptional." - Comment from Public Forum

"Everything is working great with the API. I love it." - Comment from Calvin

"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum

"I "bracket trade" all major news releases and I have not found one lag or glitch with DTN.IQ feed. I am very comfortable with their feed under all typical news conditions (Fed releases, employment numbers, etc)." - Comment from Public Forum

"Boy, probably spent a thousand hours trying to get ******* API to work right. And now two hours to have something running with IQFeed. Hmmm, guess I was pretty stupid to fight rather than switch all this time. And have gotten more customer service from you guys already than total from them… in five years." - Comment from Jim

"IQ feed is brilliant. The support is mind-bending. What service!" - Comment from Public Forum Post

"I use IQ Feed, Great stuff as far as data analysis information, storage and retrieval is concerned." - Comment from Public Forum

Author	Topic: FTSE 100 future (LF#) tick data spikes (6 messages, Page 1 of 1)

Is that problem already known ? I didn't find anything with the search function. So please are you aware of this issue ? I'm using Multicharts with the implemented QuoteManager as a 3rd party charting software and attached a screenshot to see the spikes on different days. Thanks a lot. Kind regards.

I see a few small spikes in the intraday data, but nothing unusual, can you please provide a couple time stamps so we can confirm we are looking at the right areas. Also are you using an intraday chart or daily chart. Any details you can provide will assist us in finding the problems. Stan S What we do today, determines how people remember us forever.

One example happened today at 12:51:04 exchange time. I'm talking tick charts. Minute charts are effected as well. Regards. Mike File Attached: ftse_future(LF#)_spikes2.png (downloaded 840 times)

Stan S -DTN Guru- Posts: 256 Joined: Apr 13, 2006	Posted: Jan 21, 2011 07:59 AM Msg. 5 of 6 These spikes are implied trades. Implied trades were blocked in the past , but a few weeks this was changed to allow the implied trades to pass thru. The exchange always sent these, this was a DTN decision to allow these to pass thru in response to other customers wanting to see these implied quotes. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Stan S What we do today, determines how people remember us forever. Be the positive force in someone life.
