I am using the TDAmeritrade Polling and it does not seem to be updating properly. The streaming does work. Because I am on limited bandwidth I need to use the polling.

My settings are:
--Dropdown menu on the main screen is "TDAMERITRADE (polling)"
-- Options > Preferences > Historical Data > History Data Server > "TDAMERITRADE (polling)"

What is the problem, specifically? I'm not seeing any problems with polling here.

It is not keeping up with the correct DJI average. Even when I hit refresh. I suspect all other quotes are off too.

Which ticker symbol, $INDU? What are you comparing it against? Keep in mind that we're just displaying the data that TD AMERITRADE sends us...

^DJI is the symbol.
I just did a refresh and it displays:
10,646
While the actual is 10,696

If you are comparing it against the TD AMERITRADE web site, keep in mind that the quotes on their main site are delayed, not real-time. If you log into your TD AMERITRADE account and compare the values that PSM is displaying to the real-time quotes, you will see that they match.

BTW, our TD AMERITRADE plugin automatically translates some Yahoo index tickers (such as ^DJI) to the correct TD AMERITRADE tickers ($DJI) so if you're trying to get a quote on the TD AMERITRADE site, you have to use the correct tickers for that site.
