Re: IB datafeed to TS2k

Good to see a lot of people warming up to the IB feed - I have always found IB feed to be excellent. Just one caveat - remember you miss ticks - and I mean it. It's specifically evident on swing high / swing lows... say for example you are watching ER2 making a bottom, with 2 bars having a low of 629.00. Don't move your stop to 628.90 - the next bar may not ever report a tick at 628.90, but you would probably get filled.

It might be unacceptable to some, and I understand. I guess I have just become used to it's quirks, and it works for me fine.

But the IB data feed is very clean direct exchange data gated every .2
seconds (approx) which gives clean signals that don't
bog your modem/charts down on data dumps (market turns). I wish Esignal's
data was gated like IB's as they can really dump ES emini data on you
when the market turns no matter what your Hardware/software capabilities
are.
