Post From: The Millisecond Time Stamping Myth

What we believe that data providers like IQ Feed are doing is they are using the sending time of the FIX message which contains multiple trades and that serves as the timestamp.

What we are trying to point out, is that is not the true execution time of the trade. So if there is a reliance upon this, then it's not accurate.

We have the direct market access ourselves. And what we see is there is no millisecond timestamp. other than for the sending time of an FIX message which contains trades.
