July 7th, 2010 @ 2:20pm – Data for Canadian Stocks and Most Indexes Unavailable – Now Fixed

All four of our ThomsonReuters data feed servers stopped giving us data around 2:15pm Eastern today.  Those servers provide us with intraday data for all Canadian stocks and most of our indexes (i.e., symbols that start with '$').  We have contacted ThomsonReuters about the problem and they are looking into it.  Check back here for updates every hour or so.

In the mean time we are adjusting things so that we use our IDC/Comstock data feed to get data for the most popular indexes like $SPX and $INDU.  We will add as many of those indexes as we can in the next hour or so.  Unfortunately, the IDC/Comstock feed does not have coverage for all of our indexes.

UPDATE @ 3:10pm – Canadian data and Index data is now available again.  We are continuing working with ThomsonReuters to understand what the underlying problem was that would take down all four of their feed machines at the same time.
