I once compared futuresource satellite to esignal to ts. I found that not
only was timing different, but the values were different. Futuresource
seemed to be getting its data from a different source than the others.
Different sampling rate or something. Same for upvol dvol data. A system
that I have using uvol and dvol is hugely profitable on futuresource but not
on the others.
