Re: T-Bonds Data accuracy

Without in depth examination, This is most probably caused by the mechanism
in which different data feeds represent the time of each tick.

Most data feeds providers continue the bad practise of using the time
derived by the local computer.

Idealy the exchange should transmit the time in their data feed.  This
exchange time should remain part of the content of the data feed that the
end user receives.

Where there is an absense of time in the original feed, the data feed
provider should inject their time stamp based on the time zone of the
exchange.
