> After repeated attempts of trying to get Omega Research to add FOREX

As we see from this and another request aswell as my several ignored
requests, there is demand for that, but OMEGA does not care - wonder
why ?

VERY GOOD !

> They transmit data from 32 banks in 19 cities,
I use DBC, they have some 60 contributing banks - however they
majority of their prices is input by just two no-name-banks. I
suppose those banks have their REUTER or whatever linked to datafeed
and automaticly flood DBC with the data.
As we know, FOREX is NOT last trade by bid/ask indication, each data
feed has more or less tick and it cant even be said whats better. In
active time (US morning, when europe and US trade together) I
sometimes get as much as 60 ticks per minute on USDDEM from DBC - I
told them several times that this is rubbish and filling up their
uplink and probably delay other data even more, but they dont care -
or actually dont know a better way........
I have seen one of the no-nam-bank putting in more than 10 prices per
minute - I think they make money with providing prices, rather then
with dealing.......

DBC has aswell a hughe list, of all b.s. currencies around the world.
I would prefer they do less and they do it better....

Richard, I dont understand what you collect - FOREX always is a pair,
i.e. 2 currencies and its internationally agreed to use ISO codes,
which you do above, but you just show 1 currency.
Is GBP = GBPUSD ?
- how about GBPDEM another major currency, and GBPJPY ?
DEM is obviously USDDEM, but what is USD ?
Aswell would like to know how you handle "bad inputs" - with DBC some
banks put in "slightly" wrong prices, like 20-30 ticks on USDDEM,
which can be ignored, actually have to be ingored as you cant keep
deleting ALL of them, on GBPDEM you sometimes get wrongprices asmuch
as 100-200 pips away, that cant be tolerated but again is lots of
work and one can not check all the currencies - how do you ?
And finally do you get GOOD daily charts in TS - I dont with DBC/TS
thanks
