Re: A confidence shaking observation concerning TS/eSignal data.

I also use E-signal real time but in addition, I run an offline copy of the
global server on a separate computer that I download every night from
History Bank. Looking at the stored
data on a tick by tick basis and looking at the last tick before the hour,
the numbers
you show as currently in your data base agree with what I downloaded from
History Bank
after the close on 8/3.  I don't remember the exact date but it has only
been recently that I
have been able to download the $ADV from History Bank. I used to have to
export it from my
real-time machine.

The numbers I have from e- signal obtained on a real time basis do not
agree with History Bank nor your hard copy numbers.  Here is what I have
from
real-time e- signal

Central time
9           890
10        910
11        1087
12        1212
13        1236
14        1280
15        1422
1515    1452
