Unfortunately, this information gets archived the evening following its creation, so we have lost our ability to research this particular incident. We do not dispute your analysis. However, the next time you see this, it would be very helpful if you can be report it immediately. Then we can investigate it that day with all suspect data present.

How fast do you want me to post to give you chance to analyze ? If you would have taken a look right after I entered my post, you would have had a chance to analyze. Please elaborate.

DTN_Steve_G -DTN IQFeed- Posts: 28 Joined: Oct 1, 2004	Posted: Oct 22, 2004 01:17 PM Msg. 4 of 8 Dierk, Let me rephrase my previous response: The discrepancy you found needs to be discovered and reported before Midnight (New York time) on the trading day in question. This is because some of the detail data we need to analysis gets consolidated and deleted at that time. The trades you were reporting occured 10/18, but we got your email posting on 10/21. So the data we need to analysis is no longer there. I hope this clarified my previous response. Steve Grunberg IQFeed Developer Support DTN Market Access
