Joel,
I'm not sure what they are talking about but Tradestation 2000i will
not build a one second bar anyway nor any other Tradestation program
that I know of . One minute or any number of ticks but not one
second. You can also build volume bars on a tick chart. They are
simply volume per bar instead of ticks per bar.
So if you get all the ticks like from Esignal you have many trades in
one second and each has a time stamp in hundredths of a second. If we
aren't taking Tradestation then maybe they are on the wrong list I
don't know.
Best regards,
Jimmy Snowden
