A free cheese is only in a mouse-trap...
IB feed is compressed and distributed in intervals of 100-200ms. If you need a reliable, tick-by-tick, non-filtered feed, go and shop elsewhere... A good feed will cost you a couple of hundred bucks, but if your strategy requires it, this is the only way to go...
Quote from chud:
Yes, everybody knows that you have to pay up if you want the most reliable feeds down to the nanosecond. The question addressed on this thread is why quotes are being shown dollars away from the actual market for 30 minutes at a time. If you want to start a thread about how everybody should be paying for a Bloomberg subscription feel free to do so, but leave this thread for discussion on the current IB issue.

chud,
1) How dare you criticize IB's data!
"Interactive Brokers was awarded the highest star ratings from Barron's; 4.8 stars for lowest cost and 4.5 stars overall."

2) Please ask the following 2 geniuses at IB who both make over $1M for their incompetence:
Mr. Milan Galik , age 41
Sr. VP of Software Devel. $ 2.63M
Mr. Thomas A.J. Frank , age 52
Chief Information Officer and Exec. VP $ 1.13M
e.g. TWS = WHAT A JOKE!
