our data feed to the IPE went down. We put the market to telephone only whilst we switched to a different feed supplier.

Confidence is a big factor of course but that wasnt quite what I was getting at. I just want to base my trading decisions on actual market data and be able to develop my own indicators, decide my own rollover conditions, backtest, etc.... Free charts are fine for basic charting but by their very nature they arent all that indepth, they are what they are- free. Not a criticism really, just my personal opinion.

I don't mean to moan, but after the surprise hike in the BoE base rate, the charts for USD/SEK, USD/NOK and cable are ten minutes behind the market, and a couple of minutes ago, USD/SEK chart was over 200 pips away from the market.
Crazy!
I do try to be subjective, my main concern is that CS's clients do not lose money unnecessarily. IMO if a broker (or any business for that matter) has the means to rectify a problem & he does not benefit from that problem, then he would make the changes to better the service. That's just common sense. Simon, I did have my own business, so I know what I am talking about. The reason you guys don't make charts more stable is because they are free to your clients, competition uses same crap & subsequently most of your clients that do size won't use/rely on your charts anyway. Hence, you will not change much, unless your competitors start making changes. I am not criticising you, I am raising awareness to novice traders that assume that a free chart = a saving, not in this game.

Lol! That's not an arbitrage opportunity, that's the disparity between the price the chart is showing and the price the ticker is showing. You (obviously) trade on the ticker, so all this shows is that the charts are very badly out of kilter with the real price!
EDIT for 12/01/07: Got an independent charting solution now, but more of the same shenanigans with the CS chart feed still...

I just phoned them - they're working their arses off to get the problem sorted, but it's still outrageous for the entire site to go down at the busiest point in the whole day, and on the most announcement-laden day this week!
EDIT: We're back in business - nice one everybody!
