Hello Traders, I think its common knowledge that IB's Times and Sales date is very unreliable and inaccurate due to IB aggregating its data. However, having said that isn't there some value in the length of time that a price pauses and the number of bids / asks that takes place during the...

Hello Traders, This may be a silly question but do you guys/gals know if its possible to get tick by tick data from a provider for a single symbol - YM? I don't need all the bells and whistles that can with signing up with a provider. Cheers Carlton

DT, I'm going to attempt your suggestion. Cheers mate.

That in my view is absolutely correct. The only reason I haven't used the 500 stocks of the S&P was simply because I wasn't ready to pay Esignal the costs for 500 symbols. However, as luck would have it, a member of Esignal has been following my threads on ET and has kindly offered me a deal on...

OK T2W members It is clear to me that a number of you have misunderstood what I'm trying to achieve with my system. As a result, I posted the same thread, word-for-word on a rival forum and they too didn't fully understand what my goal was. Therefore, I have failed in making myself clear...
