Delayed QQQ data feed despite active US Equities Consolidated Tape

View Count: 180

Hello:

My data feed for QQQ is delayed by about 10-15 minutes even though I have "US Equities Consolidated Tape ((1) CTA "Tape A", (2) CTA "Tape B", and (3) UTP "Tape C") Equities Consolidated Tape" service active. What do I need to do to eliminate the delay?

My futures data feed is not delayed.

First thing we want you to do is to restart Sierra Chart.

If you still have a problem:
Follow the instructions here to clear the Message Log:
Message Log: Clearing the Message Log

Close all of the Chartbooks with "File >> Close All Chartbooks".

Open a single chart for the symbol you have an issue with through "File >> Find Symbol". Tell us that symbol of the chart. Tell us about *one* symbol only.

Disconnect from the data feed with "File >> Disconnect".

Connect to the data feed with "File >> Connect to Data Feed".

After the connection and after about 10 seconds, provide a copy of the Message Log following these instructions:
Support Board Posting Information: How to Post Your Message Log (Required In Some Cases)

We will then determine what the problem is.

You have the U.S. Equities Consolidated Tape exchange active, but you are using the symbol "QQQ-NQTV". When you use the suffix of -NQTV, this is specifying that you want the data from our NASDAQ TotalView exchange and not from the U.S. Equities Consolidated Tape.

To get the data from our U.S. Equities Consolidated Tape exchange, you need to use the standard ticker symbol, so in this case you need to use "QQQ".
