Ah, glad you asked this question because I have a related one for which the
answer is significant.  When using tick bar charts it is important to know
just what the feed is sending.  Some feeds send a tick for each trade.
Others send a tick only when the price changes during a trade.  A chart
based on say 72 tick per bar could be very misleading if it is only updated
on a price change tick feed.  So, the question is when categorizing feeds,
which ones send all trades, most trades or only price change trades?

S&P Comstock is said to broadcast every transaction.  True or False?
Future Source?
BMI? no need to answer
DBC Signal
eSignal
DTN
