TD Ameritrade Think or Swim SLOW Stock Quotes vs Das Trader!

A couple people point have pointed this out in the past but I really wanted to see for myself and I'm pretty surprised that there is a noticeable difference in quote speed between TD Think or Swim vs Das Trader! You might think that 1second delay is nothing but trust me its a big difference when in less than a second a stock can drop and pop. Maybe you'll think differently about DayTrading with Think or Swim now...

1. That lag is real!
2. Have you checked the quote speed under Application Settings->General->System? Try to make it Real-time
3. TOS is definitely a tick or two behind and it varies. If the volume is high, it is close to most other realtime tickers. If the volume is lighter, however, I've seen TOS be up to several seconds behind. I bought this up with my local TD Ameritrade rep the other day to see if there was a something in the software that could be changed to achieve better timing. I'll let you know what they say when they get back with me.
4. sounds like something amertrade want to know about.. 😁😁😁
5. optionshouse had a delay today too
