For the contrast, I'm also attaching another API session log from today where the #9 tick was reported immediately after ReqMktData call, as expected.

Unfortunately the fact that the tick is reported sometimes does not mitigate the issue of it not being reported some of the other times when the API trading program is regularly relying on it to make data driven decisions, and for my trading it is absolutely crucial.
