My length of experience with AIQ EOD is only half as long but my assessment
of the results is the same as W. Parks. However, I believe that equities
does use a different rule base (but with the results noted).

I wasn't aware that AIQ intended to produce a product utilizing BMI or
other datastream. They're owned by Track Data so one can't be too surprised
at the delay. Since myTrack fills in all past ticks at the time you bring
up an AIQ R/T chart, it seems that making AIQ work with BMI would require a
rather different model.
As for the chart times, you *can* select 1, 2, 3, ... minute bars. But you
can't have a tick chart or n-tick bar chart.

Now if Ensign used the Universal Market Data Server, I'd be in heaven.
