Hello Everyone,
Have been using TCNet for a couple weeks now and thought I'd attempt to answer some earlier questions:
Tick charts - yes, it has these along with 1,5,10,15,30, and 60 min.
Real time scans - not really - it functions just like the old TC2000 in regards to scans and Personal Criteria Formulas (PCF). Still have to download the 20min. delayed data for intraday scans.
TCNet does offer 3 realtime intraday scans - price% change, volume, and share price. There is a segregation in how the real time data is utilized as compared to the delayed/EOD data. My impression is that this first run of TCNet is a gussied up TC2000 platform, hence the incompatability between the two data streams.
Real time charting is excellent though, lots of user adjustments and indicators available.
Was suprised to find that for me the best feature is the real time chat. Amazing store of knowledge and varying viewpoints available instantly. Many of the chatters appear to be long time TC2000 users (back in the DOS days), and are quite experienced (many retirees too). There are Elliott Wave/ Fib gurus, candlestick folks, indicator builders, gut traders and others.
Overall a decent package, my hope is that in the future intraday data will be equally accessible throughout the program. For those who use visual indications intraday the package is excellent.
