Weird Market-Replay Behavior

[scottreynolds]

I am experiencing weird price action behavior in market replay for oil. I've specifically tested 8/1/11 and 9/1/11. What I'm seeing is that price is not moving and often not staying in sync with the bid and ask. Bid and ask are updating, I presume, correctly, but often price will just sit there and then all of a sudden "jerk" hard to a new price. For example, I can sit there for like 5 to 10 seconds with no price movement (unusual for oil) while bid and ask are updating. Or say, price is sitting on 92.3 - I might see a bid of 92.4 and ask of 92.5 which makes no sense.

Any ideas?

Hello,

Was this replay data downloaded from our servers or was it recorded from a live connection?

What is the expiration month you are using on the dates you are testing?

I look forward to assisting you further.

It is data downloaded from your servers.
If I remember correctly, the expiration month for 8/1 is CL 10-11 and for 9/1 it is CL 11-11.

Hello,

I see this behavior on 8/1 when using CL 10-11 - however the contract with the most volume at that time was the CL 09-11.

Can you please try again for 8/1 using CL 09-11 and let me know if you see issues with this expiration.

You're right - that was it - thanks.
