Broken Prices in Sterling

  1. Do any of you guys ever get weird situations in Sterling where the prices are just flat out wrong, maybe by 1 tick? I've been running the same build of my code for months and today, I was getting flaky prices, had the wrong NBBO in some symbols, and in other symbols, it was perfectly fine.

    I changed price servers and things got better, but I took a mild loss and accumulated my max position in a few symbols and had to dump at a loss before I caught the erroneous price.

    This is the first time it's ever happened to me on this platform.
     
  2. Another tidbit: The erroneous prices all happened in symbols that started with A, and BATS seemed to be the screwed up exchange on all the "A" symbols.

    I don't use sterling but it sounds like a rounding error.
     
  4. I can rule that out because the integer book sizes were also wrong.
