IB: Misses some Ticks, so does T&S miss some trades?

T

Triple X

I'm considering trading futures with IB, and from what I have read their data feed is a 'burst' style, which doesn't capture every tick. My question is, will the T&S capture every trade, or will there be some missing? I think some of the front ends for TWS look good, but I'm concerned about missing trades, and also about TWS overall reliability. Any feedback from users would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
i have HEARD IB misses some trades on the T/S (that it aggregates them for the burst format), but otoh, i trade CBOT products and I spend a lot of time watching the tape...

whether or not is "burst" style, i get lightning fills and the tape still provides me useful info as to order flow...

i would need to compare it head to head with esig or tradestation to get a good comparison
