Post From: Version 1047: Millisecond time stamping

In the Changes Log you wrote:

"One major exchange like the CME, does not provide millisecond timestamps on trades. Therefore, it cannot be known exactly when a trade occurred within a second. Sierra Chart does not support estimating milliseconds in these cases. As is previously said, Sierra Chart uses milliseconds as a counter."

"Which is another reason, why Sierra Chart does not support milliseconds from external data feeds which do not necessarily accurately represent when a trade occurred, but only represent sending/receiving time of a message containing a trade."



In a post few weeks ago you said you will give users the option to choose either the internal counter or the "millisecond time stamping" from the external feeds.
I can't find any option like that in 1047 and from the text above its not clear if it will happen.


Please clarify.
Thanks.
