IB Data Feed Problems?

NQ spiked down like 2 pt, I had orders just sitting for like 10 seconds, I canceled all orders, this is ridiculous.

hey illiquid,

this is the second time I have had this problem in the last week.... can't recall a problem before that....

I've had this problem since June, but today has been unusually bad. Usually the quotes stagger through every 10 secs or so, so it's bearable as long as you're not scalping. But today is ridiculous.

BTW, Realtick running smooth this whole time.

Now it's saying it's okay but it's not okay. It's just the same as it was. Untradeable. Sheeesh.

And now they removed the message that says it's okay now. God!

yep. Nothings moving. I imagine when the quotes do start working we will have a selloff.

.....And, no backfill. It tries, then just times out. Come on IB, you can do way better than this!

Let me guess . . . things are a bit better now? Right on schedule.

IB, I really would like an explanation for today. I've complained about this many times in the past few months but got little help since "no one else has complained about it". I guess things will be different now?

Rest assured, if they don't change something, you will KEEP seeing this issue coming back, 9:45-10:15, just about every other day.

If it was exchange based problem maybe. But this is an IB problem.

Backfilling all of a sudden. Past the 1015 hours mark--Illiquid may have a good point here.

Anyone having IB data feed problems today? My TWS appears to update for a few seconds then stalls. It started doing this with version 862.9a.

thanks

I have version 861.5 so it's not the version of TWS evidently. They just posted another update at 10 after that says it's still screwed up. And now one for Globex.
