For your information.
We are working on both issues. So we are planning to implement new data
feeds after the release of WLD3.
We also plan to get the indicator update for every tick in the near
future, so I guess for those among you that see an advantage in this
tick updating indicator you have to stick with TS :).
Anyway, WLD3 will have tick bars which might help already?

Yep, I'd certainly love to use WL with Tenfore. Their satellite feed is
first class.
