Quote from Surdo:
So you did not see the 3-5 second delay in TS Data on Friday in ZB and ES then, so STFU and stop being a shill for an inferior product.

nice...namecalling.....["shill"]
nice...I don't use the product any more, how can I be a shill? I've made gazillions of $$ from that platform in the past ten years, I will not knock it.
Whatever the guy decides, having two different data streams is smart. I use Strategy Runner for everything now; TS does have some data issues a few times a year, usually at market opens.
If the guy has TS for his bigtime analysis and systems programs and a data/chart platform from his brokerage, that is best. Also having backup internet, backup power and backup computers is wise.
TS gives you a couple years of intraday data (maybe more) - this is very helpful in backtesting strategies and indicators. Then, if the user wants to spend bucks on continuous historical data going back 'x' years he will have a good idea of future success. Since TS is free with a funded account and the universe of TS programmers is huge, a few thousand dollars out of pocket using the TS platform will go a long way.
I tried out a couple online meetings with Ninja when I had some spare time last year, I could not get some very simple questions answered....it may be great for some, but I think it lacks a lot of depth for serious programmers/analysts like me.
Here's a link to the NJ Forum regarding custom indicators.
Good luck you NT guys!
