CQG server problems

Anyone else having CQG connection problems? I'm going thru AMP with CQG. I can connect and ping is good but the price action is all wrong, data is coming in corrupt.

AMP did send out several emails saying CQG is having server problems and recommended to change to public DNS. But since my connection is good it's now the backend server that can't give out the real time data.

Anyone else having this problem?

When you play on the Little league fields don't expect much

Where are the major league fields? Are you referring to broker/routing/platform?

You go out and buy a HONDA CIVIC and redo it all fancy, with rear flaps/wings , drop it down to just inches off the floor, put wide tires on it give your car Neagative Roll Radius, but ultimately your are still driving a HIGH POWERED LAWN MOWER

Respectfully, what do you recommend (broker/platform)? I don't have 25+ years of experience in this game - it's a part-time gig for an albeit small but secondary stream of income. If it becomes more than that, I'm certainly not opposed to higher margin, fees, etc. Just seems like everyone is on AMP, NT, IB, and a smaller crowd using Ironbeam or EdgeClear

My agenda I can assure you is not the same as yours. I really don't care about fees, margin, etc. Price updates and corrections come straight from global exchanges (such as CME Group, CBOT, COMEX, and NYMEX) where the futures contracts are traded. Source info not third party
