The filter I was refering to was not the feed connection because with tradestation you can only use one feed and its there own laggy filtered feed that they give everyone , my ping to there server was only 45 ms , but they have to route it to the cme still and there no co-located with them . So no idea what kind of ping they had from there server to cme . The filters I was refering to were for ex..such as coding a buy or sell only if with in 10 bars of a 50 % retracement with in the meander code which filters out all the trades taking place out side that logic.
