Okay but the problem is why is it that other users are not affected. That is not for you to answer but that would seem to tell us, that it might be an issue on the Gain Capital side with encoding that is just affecting you. We have been using FAST with Gain Capital for years now without anything like this so why now is there a problem. Anyway we are going to monitor for this and then we will run this issue by them if we do not notice it ourselves and see what they say.

But the problem with FAST is that there is a huge amount of complexity involved in encoding and decoding and if there is some little problem it could be very hard for either of us to know what it is.

This is the reason why the CME when they were using FAST, they were not using the mathematical operators and they eventually abandoned it years ago. It is just too complex of a protocol.
