Re BMI
U must keep an alternate feed going with BMI now to constantly check for the
delay. i use quote.com freebies for NQ and ES and check the candlestick
formations on the 1 min.
The pattern recently has been this, sort of: early in the morning after the
close BMI gets behind, yes up to 2 minutes plus. My reading is that in busy
markets and with the Europe markets, BMI can't cope. As europe shuts down,
first Germany and France , then the UK, data transmission decreases, and BMI
catches up as the morning progresses, and usually by 11:30 or so it is tick
for tick with quote.com freebie.
It will sometimes get behind later in the day if there is a burst of market
activity. I watch this very closely, and have been for 3 years!
Hopefully BMI will strip something else outa that feed so the NQ and ES data
can be up to the market.
