All of the information you have stated regarding the "Data Delay" is saying the same thing. It is the instantaneous difference between your computer clock and the clock from the exchange. It could be that your computer clock is off by 7.2 seconds from the exchange at that time. You would really need to be watching that delay value when an issue is occurring to see if you are actually seeing the data being further delayed from what would be a "standard" amount at more "normal" times. If you do see the delay going up, then you are probably seeing an actual delay in the data. It could be for any number of reasons, including just a lot of data to process at that time. Going through the items at the link we gave will give you the best setup to help with this. And we can not, and will not, compare to another system. We have no idea how they are handling the data. It's entirely possible that they are timestamping based on your local computer clock, which would give incorrect bars - or at least, what we would consider incorrect relative to the times of the data.
