True, when the TS6 feed drops, I don't know of anyway to be aware of it
unless you are intently staring at the screen at the time, i.e. when I am in
a trade. I can't argue with the belt and suspenders approach, but I don't
feel the need. I have the phone number on autodial, in my cell phone, and
written on the wall in big letters - my bail out plan is to call and go flat
if something goes wrong at the wrong time. Not the smartest, but a lot
easier to implement and safe-enough based on the reliability I have
observed.

I agree - Their feed dropped out today for several minutes. The deceptive
thing is that if you aren't in a trade and watching it will automatically
catch up and fill in the old data so it appears as if you did not miss
anything but you were infact blind for a bit unless you have another feed.
