different data

[dlubbers]

Greetings,

I have a small C# program that pulls history for the S&P 500 e-mini from the history server via the ActiveX API. (ES Z3). I loop through the data writing each bar to a file. I run my program twice and then compare the results I get significant differences in the data. I'm seeing missing bars as well as bars that have different values in all of the fields. dClose, dOpen, dHigh etc. Is this normal? I would have expected the history servers to always return SAME data. Any insight would be appreciated.

regards,

There may be a sync'ing problem or something related going on. This week we are rolling out server upgrades that will sync up all of our tick servers (the machines that serve intraday data) on the same time stamp. So starting next week, you should no longer see this. If it continues, then please post your app, so we can look further.
