    Bad TS server problems this morning for me. First, could not log on....then.....had a severe lag in futures data for the NQ. Lagged my IB data by about 4 minutes. Could have been serious if I was trading then. Anyone else have problems?

    Yep, I posted it in the retail firm forum. I woke up this morning( GMT ) with positions I didn't have yesterday( for 6K losses ). I was sure to be flat yesterday at night. The tricky part was that even my statement for yesterday was false , so I was really afraid.

    Finally, I called the trade desk and they said it was a bug...:mad: but relieved

    Constant data feed problems recently . . glad I don't use TS as a broker. Basically worthless!!!

    I only use Ninjatrader/Mirus Futures for data and brokerage . . no complaints. I'll never again us TS for futures . . might as well stick you member in a meat grinder. Reliability and slippage sucks!

    For stocks, I use Fidelity. For 1000 shares, it's the same $8 rate for me. Plus, TS rips you off big time with their interest rate. Read TS financial report . make $40+ million in interest earnings . . from client accts. Even paying the higher $12.95 at Fidelity, you could easily offset that difference with your interest rate earnings from Fidelity. Why trade with TS?

    Makes no sense . . TS is great for charting but not much else, providing their data feed is up . . which has been a clusterf**k recently.
