AW: UMDS and S&P Comstock

datafeeds:

SP Comstock does not deliver each transaction like other data feeds also
don't do. We have done research on that topic:

- We have compared 3years of tick data on 3major future markets with price
data from the trading system of the exchanges.

- The research is done on about 5GB of tick data.

-> SP Comstock delivers about 70% of all transaction in average.

Other data feeds like FutureSource have the same problem. The result is
worst than SP Comstock.

Should anybody be interested in the detailed analysis please respond
privately.
