    Not sure how widespread, I have 2 platforms up and they are right on, as opposed to my esignal feed which is lagging badly.

  7. Don't know what the problem is, but I do want to point out that the last time this problem was brought to their attention (Esignal), their reps indicated that it was MY system that was having problems. I went to significant expense and trouble to verify that it was not my system. Ditch asked the right question. Why don't these folks monitor their own system performance and take the initiative to correct deficiencies ASAP. Anybody have an answer?:D :D

    I took my business to CQG. Using DTN as a backup.

    Really too bad, but in general, these folks only react to people voting with their wallets.

    Good luck,
    Lefty.

    Lefty,

    What is your experience with CQG & DTN so far? Are they really more stable in the long run?

    Thanks

  9. For $14 a month, Esignal could open an IB account and compare these quote speed to 40 different contacts via the API. But they don't.
