his didn't close at +82, he just cut off the last bar. they are certainly not identical, but not that much different either. one problem could be how they update the data. I believe TOS updates those internal indicators like every 13-15 seconds. which is of course almost an eternity in trading.
anyway I'm still using it. I prefer it on a 1 min chart.
Thank you Silvester17! I should have caught that (the close). I like how you did your 1 min chart. May I ask what settings you used to get green above and red below the zero line?
If indeed TOS has 13 or so second delay on this data, when, or in what instances would this be detrimental to the trader?
The way I see it, referencing this data throughout the day helps determine (forecast) the trend, if there is one. A slight delay here is not critical, I would think. How about at extrema, like at +1,000 and -1,000, when one might want lighten a position or take the opposite side of the trade? If trading the ES as an example, and you see the NYSE tick above 1k, and the expectation is a reversal, is it typically immediate or minutes later? If not immediate (but minutes later), then such a delay might be of no consequence, in that scenario. Trying to see if and when this data (if indeed delayed by TOS) might be impairing...
Thanks for the reality check. I might just roll with TOS for this data then... I'll have MC open, doing most of the heavy lifting, and the iMac with the the NYSE tick data and possibly Market Profile (TPO) charts. Do you happen to use those also Silvester17? I like the alert capability with TOS and I read somewhere here that TOS users can listen to the pit for added sensory input...
it's pretty impressive all the features they offer. but I don't use alerts or the pit noise. in case you want to listen, go to help - support/chat - chat rooms - market cast and click on listen.
Funny, I posted on MB's, I think yesterday (I forget where on this forum)! I believe it is new to TOS as of Feb this year. Honestly, I don't quite understand it all yet, but the link you provided should help.
Silvester17, trading experience, none, really? You have been most helpful, thank you.
