IB Chronic Data Feed Issue

  1. "IB Chronic Data Feed Issue"

    I had no idea there was an exchange for Chronic. How do I trade these contracts???? And more important, how do I notify IB I wish to take delivery?

    (sorry, couldn't resist) :p

  2. It trades over at the Spliff Exchange. Here are a couple of their bigger floor guys...

  3. I suspect you're correct. I don't generally use the booktrader, but I monitor the ES book via DDE/Excel and its good and fast 100% of the time for years.

    Probably the code for booktrader needs debugging.

  4. Seriously? You know goddamn well that IB data isn't for pro traders and 4 months later you're still here whining about the same thing??

    Help?? Who do you think is going to help you? You think IB is going to change their feed because someone is whining on an anonymous message board??

    Jesus, man. Grow a pair and get a data feed.

    Sheesh. I'll bet this ends up being just another user error.

    Thanks, Kiwi .... problem has occured with multiple versions of
    TWS. Right now im using 895. Its intermittent, mostly YM on US
    server farm. Same phenom on ZLT front end.

    Unless you do YM on a daily basis you may not notice the levels
    getting messed up. Occasional only.

  7. Again, it's occurring on ES. Read my prior post. Try what I suggested. Report the problem to IB. Again, it is more than likely a problem with BookTrader than anything to do with the data feed.

  8. I agree with OldTrader(as always!) that it's a BookTrader problem, being that I have the same problem as you guys but I'm on the Hong Kong server using GLTrade data feed from Tokyo which would be different from your data feed.
    In fact I've had this problem for years!! I'm using 888.

    Stock,

    you're right re BookTrader needs more work. For example sum of levels on both sides doesnt update unless you role the mouse
    over the cells. Not good.

    When the current problems shows here i see it first on
    ZLT(ZerolineTrader) then i watch BT and see the same thing.
    Im refering to YM on US server.
