Re: CME Tick Aggregation

I actually am happy about it. Tick volume has been a huge pain  for me the
last year or so. I've been after TS for months to institute "only update on
price change" options for charting." Something had to be done. TS recognized
it, and I guess CME did too.

My guess is that tick charts will have fewer ticks, and that volume charts
will be less "perfect," i.e., more instances of overbar vol totals. The
really interesting question is if volume on minute-based charts will remain
correct. I guess "no," as I don't know how some doens't get collected and
spit out after the new bar starts. We'll soon find out.

Best,
Chris
