Am helping { as are some of you} with a trading software (beta test)
and have seen lot of posts on tick time stamps etc. & TS2k probs. I want to
compile some info on Data Vendors vrs software utilized and am asking for
input. Specifically, I want tick COUNT on (1) the S&P and (2) the e-Mini
for Nov 4th and Nov 5th ONLY, according to the collection rec'd by your
various data convertors to your machines. Perhaps the compiled info will be
of interst to more than just myseff.
Please respond direct ONLY ( not to List) to [ hohumjon@xxxxxxxxx ] . If
you want a copy of the information I receive, please indicate a desire for
same.
1st Line give Data Vendor Info, How Rx, total # Symbols & cat collected & RT
/ Delayed + "FC" if using card faster than a 16,550 UART
{{ Data Feeds: Abrv Fol: BMI,Sig,e-Sig,UMD,CQG,DTN,FS,BT
(bridge-Telerate),BC(bridge-CRB),CMS(Comstock),NAQ,PCQ,OTH (other you
name) - - RT,D,Sat,Cbl,FM,InNt {Yes I want CQG tick count Sat/Net)
F= FuturesOnly, FO = Futures + Options, S, SO MM=0001-2359 N= ____ ( no
Sym in Pofrtfolio collecting) }}
Second Line ccfgs e.g. Ccfg1 = 450/256/S-W98sp1 for 450mhz/128ram/SCSSI-Win
___,ccfg2 = _____.
3rd Line dfcfgs e.g. Dcfg1 = BMI/UMDS { BMI with UnivMktData Serv } Dcfg2 =
BMI/TS4 for BMIand TS 4
Fol Lines the info in format as fol:
date-time-ccfg-dvcfg-counts-dvcfg-count. eg. fol: (it's real & a small
sample with W9x )
4th-MM Ccfg1 Dcfg1 [[ sp=4463 es=10,724 ]] Dcfg2 sp=5604 es=
20,035 OR
" " 266/96/95B BMI/TS2k [[ sp=4795 es=
0,815 ]]
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
5th " Ccfg1 Dcfg1 [[ sp=5518 es= 13,675 ]] Dcfg2
sp= 5964 es= 17,258
" " 266/96/95B BMI/TS2k [[ sp= 5233 es=
10,153 ]]
Were you running " Optimized "? Meaning (1) You defragged Sat prior (2)
You ran computer as a server vice std Win Setng
(3) Ran only Charting software + the server NOT multiple progs. (4) Auto
Load de-selected, so Bill Gate's crap NOT Hoggin' memory and (5) All temp
files were deleted / cleaned to min.
Line 2 and 3 to elim repetition in Line 4 and are optional ( it may be
useful to multi config people)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Note: From my perspective ( see the Dbl square brackets above ), at least
at higher volumes, TS2k & UMDS via BMI really SUCK Is my data valid,
better than ___ / worse than ____? - - WHAT IS BETTER ? I've watched CQG
vrs Signal & DTN at a broker's desk in Chicago and it ( CQG ) was faster
about 2 seconds behind the floor) and much cleaner [ it's also the most
expensive & you can't program it - - much ]. Let's see if we can find the
best and then the best for the Buck ! or at least, eliminate the dogs.
Thanks, Intruder John
PS, I'd really like info on UMDS via other data sources & if there are
considerably higher tick counts " out there " and via what reception device.
