  2. The problem is not on the QT end nomatter what version you download. DTN just picked the absolute worst time of year to d%^k around with their servers.

    I use the IQfeed with QuoteTracker combo and IQ has some serious data issues last few weeks. Tick data backfills take forever and the data is no longer pure now lumped together (ES and DAX).

    Also it now turns QT from a lightweight app to a resource hog, Im seeing mem usage of 150-200K throughout the day regularly. QT never went over 20-25k prior to this.

    I like these guys and ive tried to be patient but it looks like im going to have to give eSignal another look...either that or find another charting platform with more datafeed options.

  3. Using Ensign/IQFeed I have no data feed issues. OTOH, my broker feed (not IB) has had a few multi-second lags the last week or so. I won't talk about problems with Howard the Arrogant and Ensign software during this same time.

    Osorico :)
