We hit two milestones with our Datafeed Upgrade project during the past week. First, the upgraded data connections for our older Thomson feed were installed on Friday. The problems we had last summer were because there was too much data to fit through our 3 megabit data connections. We now have 15 megabit data connections in place so that particular problem shouldn't reoccur. Second, because of last year's snafu, we are adding a second data vendor and last week we also started getting test data from our new IDC ComStock datafeed. Now that the IDC hardware is installed and working we can focus on the next step - reprogramming our systems to use the IDC data in addition to the Thomson data we use now. Look for us to start incorporating IDC ComStock data into our charts in a month or so.
