NQ charts are not keeping up with DOM or is just me?

Not just you. I'm seeing it too. I need to switch data feed with OEC. Sierra stopped working completely now, froze up.

The difference between OEC DOM and Sierra at one point was close to 1 minute, now completely mismatched. Sierra can't do anything about it. OEC and Sierra share the same data source so there's a conflict.

OEC are pants. They have had issues with data feeds for as long as I remember. As soon as the markets get a little busy, the OEC feeds break completely. AVOID!

What do you suggest 36884? Get feed directly from Sierra (more fees -- exchange + data) or new broker?

I am just pondering this. I have IB as a fallback, but they have filtered tick data, so not ideal for scalping. Not sure yet. I had issues with CQG also. Rithmic? CTS? Don't know. Would welcome views from others.

These are the trade services Sierra supports.

•TransAct/Infinity Live account
•Interactive Brokers Live account. (You only need to connect once to your Live account initially and once every month. The other times you can connect to your paper trading account.)
•Rithmic Live account
•CTS T4 Live account
•TT FIX Live account
•AMP/TTNet Live account
•TD Ameritrade Live account. Must be funded.
•Open E Cry Live account.
•CQG Live account

So if CQG, Rithmic, CTS, IB and OEC have problems with data feeds, then this problem exists, it seems, for all brokers.

Can someone from Sierra confirm this?

You should not see a problem with the data feeds from CQG, Rithmic, CTS or Interactive Brokers as far as a noticeable delay goes.

Yup, again. Am checking out TransAct now. They said data sync issues potentially could occur but very rarely, not like OEC.

So far, the combination of IB and SC data combo is working really well for me. Eliminates IB data issues, get real tick data, reasonable speed and executions with server managed OCO. The only thing is that I have to pay extra for the better data ($35 + $3.25)
