WHY IS TS2k LOSING TICKS?

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a question to this list:  WHY IS TS2k LOSING TICKS?".  I pointed to the fact that TS2k with BMI data feed seemed to be losing 15 - 35% ticks compared to the ticks collected by TS4. I got  a lot of responses to my posting, and want to thank all of you who responded, and some of you for putting in a lot of work testing to find the answer to this problem.  Many traders actually using TS2 as their trading platform, were unaware of this problem, and expressed shock and disbelief over the huge loss of data.  A stock trader reported that he loses around 50% of the ticks on some of the stocks he monitors - CONSISTENTLY! It seems, and this is also being confirmed by Omega, that the culprit is the BMI Data Manager.  Omega claims that they have "informed" BMI about this, but that BMI has shown NO INTEREST IN CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM! This is nothing less than a CATASTROPHE for the professional trader! I will urge ALL traders who use TS2k together with BMI data feed, to CONTACT BOTH your BMI  -  and your OMEGA REPRESENTATIVE TO DEMAND A CORRECTION TO THIS PROBLEM - NOW!!! Remember, both Omega and BMI claim to be    "..... the choice of the Professional Trader..."    With 50% tick loss - which BOTH companies now are aware of, but so far NO CORRECTION  - you have to question the seriousness of their claims. Cheers, Odd.
