"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

"Just a quick one to say I'm very impressed so far :) The documentation for developers is excellent and I've quickly managed to get an app written to do historical downloads. The system is very robust and pretty quick considering the extent of data that's available. The support guys have been very helpful too, in combination with the forums it's been plain sailing so far!" - Comment from Adam

I am watching 1 min streaming bars for around 488 stock symbols. I have noticed the following behavior and wanted to know if this is as expected or not. I am using only 1 connection in my program. And IQConnect memory usage is 4MB during the run. Upon receiving the bars, I am only doing things like adding it to a local list in memory and log the message to the file for diagnostics purpose.

Among these symbols I am watching, the time difference between the first bar I got and the last one I got is ~57 seconds which means for the Nth min bar, quite some bars are not received until Nth + 57s.

Also noticed that for several symbols, the delay is even more severe (more than 2 minutes).

Hello,

Streaming bars will only update when a trade occurs. So if there is a couple minute or longer break in data, you will see a delay in the time before you get an update message to match. And while 4 is probably lower than I would expect to see by a few MB, it sounds like all of your operation is normal.
