TD Ameritrade starting to get it right

I use Ninja trader with IB "snap-shot" data feed, and often have missed ticks on high/low of minutes bar, but when I checked ToS minutes bar, they do not have missed ticks, I am just wondering if there is difference between IB and ToS "snap-shot" data.

I have "referenced" the TD Ameritrade and ToS "snap-shot" data-feeds vs a Level One "IQ-Feed" quote feed from DTN and the difference is downright alarming.
 
Beyond the possible datafeed issues, the commissions TDA offers are downright cost prohibitive if you're scalping or day trading. No worries; there are better platforms for that.

For options trading though, I couldn't ask for better. I dumped OptionsHouse to stay with TDA, even though OH's commissions are better. ToS for complex options modeling is worth the extra cost.
 
Not sure what the fuss is either.

I think we must have hundreds of ET members that trade 100 million shares a month for .00001 cents net profit/share, and to them the tick feed has to be there, or they can lose a months profit in 2 seconds.
