"If someone needs the best quality data and backfill beyond what their broker provides at a rate that is the best in the industry, I highly recommend IQFeed." - Comment from Josh via Public Forum

"I like you guys better than *******...much more stable and a whole lot fewer issues." - Comment from Philip

"I had always used ******* but for the past 2 weeks have been trying DTN IQFeed. Customer support has been extraordinary. They call just to make sure your problem hasn't recurred." - Comment from Public Forum

"I've been using IQFeed 4 in a multi-threaded situation for the last week or two on 2600 symbols or so with 100 simultaneous daily charts, and I have had 100% responsiveness." - Comment from Scott

"I am very pleased with the DTNIQ system for quotes and news." - Comment from Larry

"I have to tell you though that using the IQFeed API is about the easiest and cleanest I have seen for some time." - Comment from Jim

"I'm very glad I switched to IQFeed. It's working perfectly with no lag, even during fast market conditions." - Comment from Andy via Email

"I ran your IQFeed DDE vs. my broker vs. a level II window for some slow-moving options. I would see the level II quote change, then your feed update instantaneously. My broker's DDE, however, would take as much as 30 seconds to update. I am not chasing milliseconds, but half a minute is unacceptable." - Comment from Rob

"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

"If you want customer service that answers the phone, your best bet is IQFeed. I cannot stop praising them or their technical support. They are always there for you, and they are quick. I have used ****** too but the best value is IQFeed." - Comment from Public Forum

Author	Topic: Massive data spike ESH8 and LFH8 (13 messages, Page 1 of 1)
Pantani -Interested User- Posts: 19 Joined: Dec 12, 2007	Posted: Jan 8, 2008 02:03 AM Msg. 1 of 13 I have massive data spikes on ESH8 - on my charts the index was trading above 1960.00 for the last hour yesterday (should be 1420)!!! These spikes have continued overnight. I have massive spikes for the entire afternoon session of LFH8 on Friday 4 Jan. I have deleted all data & refreshed multiple times and re-booted Ensign multiple times but still have those spikes. These spikes have been an ongoing problem since joining DTN and Ensign. I am close to giving up on both as neither company seems to have any explanation or solution.

I do keep an @es# chart running all night on ensign and it does not show any unusual characteristics. I will post more information here as it becomes available Ken Heinze, Market Access Customer Service
Pantani -Interested User- Posts: 19 Joined: Dec 12, 2007	Posted: Jan 8, 2008 07:06 AM Msg. 4 of 13 Hi Ken ... thanks for the response. I opened a 5min ES# chart ... and yes... there are no spikes. I tried a 5min LF# (FTSE) chart also ... guess what? ..... no spikes!! How can that be? Last quarter I had masses of problems with spikes on ESU7 and was tearing my hair out trying to get a solution. You may have stumbled on that solution. But why should the quarterly contract be corrupting? Is this a data feed problem or and Ensign problem? Ensign can offer no explanation however. Of course, I wouldn't expect you to comment on a third party. I would, however, be grateful for any thoughts you might have.

At this point, our best bet is to look at the data with different software, so that we can determine if the problem lies with the feed or with the software. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. Kind regards, Sarah

DTN_Ken_Heinze -Interested User- Posts: 49 Joined: May 4, 2004	Posted: Jan 9, 2008 07:00 AM Msg. 9 of 13 Are you also using Ensign? or is it a different program... I can see all the data from 1/08 on a 5 min. Ensign Chart. (without any spikes up or down) --- There is a spike filter in Ensign which can be found on the data tab when you double left click on the chart. Ken Heinze, Market Access Customer Service
Pantani -Interested User- Posts: 19 Joined: Dec 12, 2007	Posted: Jan 9, 2008 07:08 AM Msg. 10 of 13 Ken ... as a point of interest.... ALL my charts have the spike filter selected and it seems to make no difference whatsover to this particular problem.
DTN_Ken_Heinze -Interested User- Posts: 49 Joined: May 4, 2004	Posted: Jan 9, 2008 08:49 AM Msg. 11 of 13 I am still checking into why these charts are showing spikes - I left a 5 min @esh8 chart open overnight and it looked normal this morning. (I have a note in to Ensign support on this as well) Ken Heinze, Market Access Customer Service
