...almost right.
TS actually stamps its data down to 1 second. But the client applications currently only handle time down to 1 minute.
Bzzt...close but no donut.

If you can only access the data at the minute grain, then its a minute. I don't know how this can be any simpler?
I checked out Neoticker a while back. I use feeds from multiple brokers/providers with custom apps written in C++ and Java.
Either way, it seem to be a great deal. Now if they could link all accounts together, and have an ACH for deposits and withdrawals they would be kicking some IB butt.

Since no-one outside of TS can verify this, I have a hard time believing Andrew's "Ohh yeah, we store it locally as such... but it ain't available to you plebs" response.
As hard a time as believing their "All lights are green" network status page
What can I say, those guys "have form".
All it boils down is this, as a user of TS you can't access data down to the second level for sh**.
BTW, the T&S window that he is referring to in the last post, I do not believe this uses the cache - at least not in the same way. Sometimes when the charting freezes, only the T&S and quotes windows are being updated. There have been some posts about this recently - this has been a problem for years!
This means that if you trade like chart monkey, you need at least a backup feed when the freezes occur.
I agree, if TS could let me place all my money in one account and trade the options and futures I would move more money there. Lesser brokers such as OX and ToS treat it all as one account and do the money sweeps behind the scenes for you.
