The locked post Sierra Chart Does Not Recommend CQG (Various Reasons) summary does not reflect our experience over many months with CQG FIX from a user connectivity viewpoint based on 2 continuous tests of feed and 2 DSL lines 1 mile from Centr. Office. The couple of users who wanted SC to pay I suspect a) had internet hop problems, b) got in too deep, too long/short on a fast market, then wanted to blame CQG or Sierra? Did they a) monitor their real-time connect status 2 ways, and b) never trade when there is lag or any loss of connection? Did they admit lag problems which nature and source of which they should have been monitoring? I track the CQG FIX Feed continuously real time two ways, for over a year... and have seen almost no lag, usually 43 msec round trip or less, and no outages for months, from Chicago to Texas on CQG part. After big rains last night, at same time, Pingplotter shows CQG 42 msec, ds3.sierracharts at 51 msec. and ds4.sierracharts "unreachable" for test after 204.11.48.135 te-1-1-dist02.tor etc (attached) We use Pingplotter plus real-time digital clock sitting on Time and Sales, and compare to a parallel separate feed on other PC if any suspected problem. The only problem we had in months was from old DSL line underground after a rain (ATT changed/fixed it). Sierra Engineering should talk to other CQG users who experience no problems with FIX feed. SC please clarify changes, dates, package level, etc... when you solidify those. Before a final decision, please survey your CQG FIX users for feed lag, connection. (monitored by PingPlotter-tm or similar, and clock vs time sales). Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-10-30 14:12:11
