Post From: SC Data Feed is freezing upon price spikes (CL Futures - Nymex)

SC Engineering,

I am sorry to bring some bad news again.


I was happy and thinking that this problem had been resolved but SC Data Feed just froze again on CL Futures - Nymex and wasn't able to restart. It happened at 16:32:45 UTC (11:32:45 EST).


It was the server scdf2.sierracharts.com. The data feed started lagging for a few seconds and then stopped.

I can tell it started lagging because I still have one Trade DOM open with IB data feed (just in case).



It happened just with CL Futures. The other instruments charts kept moving.

From the message log:

"Real-time data for symbol CL-201411-NYMEX is currently unavailable. | 2014-10-02 16:32:46"




I waited a few minutes to see if it would restart by it self but it didn't. Then I disconnected and reconnected to server scdf1.sierracharts.com. It is now working well.


I can't tell if it had any other problem before (during today) because I wasn't trading this instrument today.




I must say that this instrument has been very volatile for the last three days, being today the most volatile day.

Excepting today, I have been closely monitoring the data feed with this instrument and it worked always perfectly, never lagging nor freezing.




Let me know if I can provide any further information.


Please see if you can do something to prevent this problem from happening without compromising the current excellent data feed performance.


Thank you.
