the # of ticks from BMI for futures, especially sp, is almost
always very close to the time & sales count.
they specially made the the sp symbol to have precedence
over other symbols such that they get less complains (I was
one of those who keep calling).
the problem lies more in the stocks as the bmi feed including
the sat version, cable version, etc. usually has 1/4 of the ticks
lost in space for the busy stocks ... thus the volume total is wrong,
so is the tick count ... and that % lost is consistent with the
calculation I posted earlier about the bandwidth capacity bottleneck.
IF BMI is listening - all they have to do is to drop all the news items,
all the option data (it is almost useless now as they strip 90% of the
option data already) and the feed will be able to handle the current
mkt condition. BUT in a few yrs, I can't imagine that they can
still keep up...
