Re[2]: Simple showme misreads "input"

[Jimmy Snowden <jhsnowden@xxxxxxx>]

John,

All I know is on minute charts using DTN we would see half the volume
in the up and half in the down and none of it was correct.  With
Esignal and emini setup as index you get correct volume.  Stocks are
supposed to be correct on all feeds I think but the only way to check
how TS2ki calculates it is to use a tick chart to build the minute
data.  I've never been able to get them to match correctly on emini
but you should check stocks.  Bottom line is volume is a dangerous
thing in tS2ki if you are using real money, so check it carefully.


Best regards,
