Zenfire and DTN Feed Different?

I am not sure that is a valid assumption. DTN prioritises completeness over timeliness, round news is when Zen might well drop packets however it is likely to have the freshest prices for those couple of seconds. Not saying that is what happened just that it may not be a safe assumption.

Hi FulcrumTrader! Any news from your EU based traders yet?

Btw I gote a message from Rithmic that they use TCP for order routing AND their data feed.

Hmmm interesting. If that is the case then they must purposely drop ticks under certain conditions.

Could anyone provide feedback on eSignal's data feed. DTN has proven to be unreliable when used with Neoticker to track more then 200 symbols. Although I can confirm that their data is very clean.

Zenfire's ES data is only slightly less error ridden than Think or Swims (TD Bank owned), which is god awful. Gaps ranging from several minutes to 2 hours and 40 minutes last week alone on zenfire/ninja.

It's therefore little wonder that NinjaTrader has allied itself with many LaSalle St. 'bucket shops'.

As the Roman crowd is able to consolidate ownership of data sources from the trading floors, your data will become increasingly unreliable.

That's weird, I have only ever seen holes of a second or two, never minutes let alone hours. Having said that I don't spend that much time in front of the PC at the moment. When did the 2h 40m outtage occur and did the client show disconnected? Usually an outage of that length the forums and chat rooms would be incandescent with fury. I wonder if you are experiencing another issue as well.
