Hi Juano,

Not sure I follow you problem exactly, but bear in mind that the $RTIN indice gets updated every 6 seconds. If the price is unchanged from the previous value, we do not send the quote again. That accounts for occasionally seeing a gap of 12 - 60 seconds between prices.

For $TRIN, our programming updates that Index every 6 seconds but since we are rounding to two decimals places ( i.e. 1.65 ), the value is often the same as the previous and may not be sent. That's why you may see gaps as much as 60 seconds between updates, depending on the volatility of the market.

Here's a link to FAQ's on this they may help explain this to you.

Andy, whoever else tries to follow the link.

The link leads to a page that can't be found, but just remove the ending period and it will work.

Also - The gaps in TRIN can be 3 minutes (on a 1 minute chart) at times. Could this be the same problem as the "night session" problem where the charts aren't updating on no changes?
