chaims,
How long have you been using the BMI datafeed for NASDAQ stocks? Yes, the
BMI stock data lags considerably and only about half of the trades are shown
as there is a limit of how much data that can be shoved down a 38kbps serial
interface. Also, the data priority has been given to futures on the feed
which makes the situation worse all the time. I still use the BMI datafeed
but I tend to think of it as historical data or use the data for non time
critical charting and I use internet feeds exclusively for trading. If you
are using TS2ki then I would recommend that you switch to the eSignal
internet datafeed which interfaces without problem. If you are using TS4
then you need an additional interface such as Dynastore.
