    Why is IB's time 5 seconds behind the official time?

    The issue is so simple. IB DOES have an internal timestamp that they use to turn over THEIR charts every event period. So why dont they allow THEIR customers to access it. Given how crucial time stamping is why I am I left guessing what time standard THEIR adhering to. Wouldnt it be much easier...

    Why is IB's time 5 seconds behind the official time?

    Good idea. If you check esignals website youll see that IB is designed to exactly synvchronise with Esignal tick for tick . MEANING... they support a generic standard for time that THEY share but that they wont allow you to share. Check and see if you dont believe me. REDIPLUS and IB are two...

    Why is IB's time 5 seconds behind the official time?

    You see this is exactly my point. If you go to IB with this complaint they tell you exactly this... 'Your TWS clock is synched with your computers internal clock' which may be true. However IB MUST have there own internal protocol for how THEY interpret time in order to be exactly synchronised...

    Data Feed with a Good API, and not a ridiculous price

    Depends on what you want it for ... stocks or futures but its worth bearing in mind that both Redi Plus at Bright and Interactive Brokers are both integrated with Esignal charting meaning that they match each other tick for tick. In other words theyre a generic standard. Data from either of...
