RE: How clean is TS 7 data?

e-Signal data may be cleaner, but still contain bad ticks
check out EBAY on 4/21 (approximately 10:11 and 10:23 am).
This may it difficult to do automatic trading.

I read on TS Support about the utility called OwnData
 (http://www.tssupport.com/products/owndata/).
The description says, "a customizable filter is included, 
so data may be filtered according to any criteria before
it is used for the chart."  "Presently the utility is in
development stage but now you already can register
for beta testing and share your ideas and opinions
with us."

Maybe this will help.  Any other solutions out there?

I've used just about everything, on both the retail
and pro fronts.  I've never seen anything have 100%
clean data, and I doubt I ever will.  You'll always
need human interaction to prevent all the possible
errors from bad data.  Meaning that the only way you
can know your system will be executed perfectly
(ignoring bad data) is to have it automatically traded
by a broker (which raises another whole set of
issues).

Esignal is probably about as clean as you're going to
find, in my experience.
