With BMI and Signal there's no "data cleansing" like there
is with CQG and, ostensibly, PCQuote. Consequently, our data
contains all of the busted trades and none of the
insertions. This may account for the discrepancies.
Consider insertions. What happens, for example, if BMI
transmits 300, 250, 300, 350, etc. =But= between 250 and
300, a trade was done at 200. A local reports the trade and
waits for it to print. It doesn't so he tells a member of
the pit committee. Ultimately, the trade at 200 is inserted.
BMI/Signal subscribers would never see that one, right?
Best regards,
Jim
