I do not day trade DJ but when I do trade I do it mostly during the day.
DJ has two bosses: SP and DJIA (cash). DJ follows SP tick by tick but on
the day like today (when SP lost the short and the pans and DJIA still
held on the pans) the pattern of DJ would be the same as SP but the
swings may not take swing low together with SP. But today is an
exception, mostly DJ is mimicking SP.<br>
<br>
DJ spread mostly 5 ticks but some times people trade less. When I trade I
get bid and ask from the floor (I have &quot;direct floor access&quot;?)
and then buy ask and sell bids as a limit order, so I did not notice any
slippage, except a better fill then my limit price (&quot;positive&quot;
slippage?) when I am wrong and market moves against me (that is mostly
the case). In the fast market DJ would run away from me and my order will
be filled partially, but I keep &quot;hitting&quot; the bids or ask
prices until I will fill the entire order.<br>

Gary,

Isn't the dta format an AIQ file?

You'll probably need their data transfer utility program to fiddle with that.
