There is a spike in IB QQQQ data at 09:32 today. Is it an error? I notice the data of the QQQQ have this problem quite often.
Haven't traded the Qs for a while but that problem used to persist each day, practically on all data providers.
=============== ADx Trader; I see an IB chart spike of QQQQ 9;43 Chicago time area of $39.7 [IB candle chart shows spike open time =9;43-9;45;] Yes would say its false, you can usually tell its false if one watches a few ETF's much. Actually tend to see false quotes more on DIA,SPY,QQQQ , best to double check, 2 chart providers Prophet charts are usually fairly accurate, probably not the best for scalpers but fine for me ; Dont see any spikes 9;32 eastern time or any am spikes otherwise . Did gap up a bit open price,8;30 chicago time, not a spike ALSO ITS SUSPECT because, WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO DIRECT; AVERAGE HOURLY candle past 7 days range high to low is less than 0.45. NOT $1.00 2 minute spike IB chart shows I use IB charts as part of realtime set up, WITH discretion
stop loss order works only on honest quota system. Spike is big enemy for investors. Honest quota system is a big measure to brokerage. IB has advantage you can take but must have drawback to cover Think about it.
