Thanks for your answer. It makes sense. The intent of 10(g) would be much clearer if instead of it reading "some configurations" it just stated directly the one circumstance when it applies. And, to ease the minds of us "parinoids" further say NT will treat user data as "private" and not...

NJ's TOS - downloaded yesterday 7/22/09) : Section 10 Paragraph (g) "Some configurations of Software/Service may transmit trade execution data over the internet to a secure database for the purpose of audit tracking" Can someone explain why NinjaTrader needs to keep my trade data...

If you haven't yet tried adjusting the "accumulate N Ticks Before Writing to Disk" - you might find it worthwhile adjusting those fields as high as possible given the amount of RAM available in your system. I did some diagnostic work on the Lag Problem today. The volume today was too low to...

I really couldn't offer anything to try that would be accessible to the end user. It would be presumptuous to make suggestions in this area to the developers; I'm unfamiliar with the internals of i/rt. I meant to say that the problem is NOT that they are using the wrong tool or an...

Hi! What do you base that on? I'm under the impression IQFeed's timestamps are the same as the exchange - It seems reasonable to assume the timestamps on datafeeds that do not send "tick by tick" data have another basis for the timestamp. For instance IB's datafeed. If you look at a time...

I'm not sure I understand which folders you're referring to. The only "DATA" folder associated with i/rt is: "data_f" which seems to be the entire database. I've deleted it before and the program does not run with an empty "data_f" folder, if I remember correctly. Neither do I understand...

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it. (The quote you attributed to me was actually from "cwb1014" - I also think it unlikely there is a problem with the data feed. I've used IQFeed with other charting software w/out problem)

[/b] Thanks, I'll try that. Actually the database is inherently very efficient. (I used to work with it and still have license to the source code.) Having said that I should add that I speak from experience that is 18+ years old! In my opinion, i/rt should be completely rewritten...

I've been having the same problem. I've experienced much longer lag time than you. The easiest way I've found to get rid of the "backlog" of ticks is to simply stop the data feed for a few seconds and restart it. That does not solve the problem, it just gets the entire system back to "real...
