DAX spike and I.B. prices

K

Did anyone watch the I.B. pricing as the upward rebound came after the 40 point fall ( 1 min. chart ,10.21 Dax time ). Price was 7 points above actual price on the way up and then went 5 points below actual price coming back down ( 10.22 ).

A disaster for anyone wanting a quick few points.

Ftse prices represented the market from what I could see.

Why is this I.B. ?
 
i don't understand... - what do you mean price was above the "actual price" - what is the "actual price"? - i was watching the tick chart and i didn't notice anything unusual - do you mean the ftse futures price moved less.. so did the cac40 future - well, dax is more volatile if that's what you mean.
 
Actual price = chart price.

Prices quoted by I.B. were different on the dax compared to the chart price as I stated above. Ftse I.B. quotes were the same as the chart prices. I don't follow CAC.
 
ok - who is your chart data vendor? in this case it's a question of whose datafeed is better, your chart vendor's or IB's.. datafeed lags are a known issue.

I agree lag is an issue but not with mine - I have compared it to other broker's prices and it is fine.

Anyone else see what I did?
