No. Our own data feed is direct from the CME multicast feed. You will not get anything better. And using CQG is not any worse.

Now that we think about this, what you describe here makes sense:
I'm testing some strategies on CL futures market using the attached orders from the order window and a strategy coded in ACSIL. What I'm finding is limit orders are frequently getting filled at prices not possible/probable in the real market. Limit orders getting a few and sometimes more ticks of price improvements.

It is very common in the CL market when there is a fast move for the bid and ask data to lag behind and therefore you would get the result that you are describing.

The only practical solution is for us to add an option to not use the actual bid and ask prices and to estimate them instead during the back test.
