Anyone else had issues with Zen Fire on NT this week. I have been getting random price server disconnects that recover 3-4 seconds later. Seems to be occuring around busy periods like todays spanish bond auction and US open when volume is up. Checked everything I can think of so I'm pretty sure it's not me. Happened on every US open this week and Fridays open as well. Usually 20-30 mins after it opens.
Yes you have, I logged one. I'm trying to figure out if it's me, broker, zenfire, ISP or NT. So far I think I have ruled out me, NT and ISP but I'm not positive.
My apologies, I did not phrase my response correctly. We have not had reports of Zen-Fire connection issues outside of what is typical this week. Meaning, I have no data points that would point to a general Zen-Fire connection issue. Their systems have been working as expected this week based off our incoming support history.
I experienced no outages with rithmic during this time. One reason I moved from zenfire to rithmic was I was getting quite a few outages with zenfire. Rithmic has been a much better experience with me in this regard.
"The day I became a winning trader was the day it became boring. Daily losses no longer bother me and daily wins no longer excited me. Took years of pain and busting a few accounts before finally got my mind right. I survived the darkness within and now just chillax and let my black box do the work."
I've just been doing some Speedtest.net tests and my connection to my ISP is nice and fast but my connection to Chicago is only 0.78Mbps down and 0.47Mbps up with a 280ms ping at the moment. It does vary a bit and is usually faster. I assume the zenfire servers are in Chicago? Seems the internet is my bottleneck... sigh.
Any suggestions on if/how this can be improved. I know I can't improve the ping much as that's how long it takes light to travel to Chicago and back but the speed is probably not enough for the charts I am running.
Once you have the historical data, as long as the data ticks in, it ticks in
