The more we contemplate this, the more we really realize that this is an inherent problem that can affect any trading platform. Whenever you have a burst of market activity like during an economic announcement, it is perfectly normal that a data feed is going to lag behind even if it is just 250 milliseconds or 2000 milliseconds.

That is more than enough of a lag where if there is a several point move in a single second like in this case, where that lagging data is going to then be used for a trailing stop or a move to breakeven stop and be acted upon when it should not be.

And it is not reliable to look at timestamps in this particular case to filter out the data
