To Folks who have no problems:
Im curious about whether the satisfied customers have actually checked the
accuracy of thier data. Do you call your broker and your data vendor and
get them to read off price quotes, bid/ask changes and intraday volume
numbers at random times during the day on several active stocks like INTC,
DELL. And do you then call at the end of the day and get total tick counts
which you check against GS/Edit Symbol/Edit Data/Load Data - Trade Record
1Tick. Im not sure what you check for futures since I am a stock trader.
But unless your intraday prices match your data vendor and your broker with
no delay you are not getting real time data. And unless your end of day
tick counts are accurate within 1% you are not getting accurate data and you
do in fact have problems.
And in Quote Monitor does UpVol + DnVol = TotVol intraday and end of day
after the closing loop had been completed. Note that 4pm TotVol figures
change after the end of day loop is transmitted; with DTN mine change around
7pm NY time. And do Quote Monitor intraday prices and volume numbers equal
the intraday price and volume values in Charting on the same symbol. Check
UpVol, DnVol and TotVol. And in GS/Edit Symbol/Edit Data/Load Data - Trade
Record 1 day, does UpVol + DnVol = Tot Vol.
None of the above is correct for my system. GS, Quote Monitor and TS
Charting are making arithmetic errors. UpVol+DnVol does not equal TotVol
which is a major problem to me since a computer is supposed to be able to
add correctly. My brokers data compares accurately to the second to DTN on
prices and within 1% on intraday volume. Hence my data vendor is not the
problem, Ts2k is. I am missing about 3-10% of the volume on stocks. This
varies symbol to symbol. Hence Ts is loosing ticks. All the ticks are
going into my computer because I checked it with DTN software before
installing Ts2k.
If you are trying to run systems that depend on accurate RT data but you are
missing 3% or more of the ticks being transmitted by the exchange you have a
potential problem.
As noted by Alan C and others on the list Omega plays dumb regarding this
issue but it is certainly there.
