And, Cone, I've also (trial) subscribed to (but am still evaluating) the IQFeed platform as a means to solve the problems I have reported in this thread (https://www.wealth-lab.com/Discussions/9928). So far, I can say that you were definitely correct when you said that IQFeed was a much better streaming source of data than the ThinkorSwim API. Very noticeable speed improvement. And ... NO ERRORS, even with multiple stragegies running simultaneously.

The only issue I have with it so far is that my best strategies do not throw entry signals while in "Auto-Place" mode. So, in order to enter a trade, I need to:

1) Run backtests through out the day, then...
2) Send Opened Positions to Quotes, then ...
3) Manage entry positions from within "Quotes and Price Triggers" window.

Seems too tedious, so I must be doing something wrong. And, if my entry order is a Market Order, then I've missed my mark most of the time.
Anything come to mind?

Are you turn on Stream in Quotes?
Is Auto Place selected?
Is the broker connected?

With an image of your setup, we can probably identify the problem.
