My focus is to use the best charting software available, which I believe to be SC. I only report problems that do not appear to be specific to my system. For example, if you run 2 instances of SC, one with SC's CME feed and the other with Iqfeed(making sure all update settings are equal) and open up T&S window for the ES on each and compare the update of the Top ask column(since it is closet to the edge of the window), you will be able to observe a difference(if there is one)in how the 2 feeds increment the field. On my system, I can observe a difference that is perceptible to my eye. They both end up at the same number but the IQfeed appears to increment on every change, where the SC CME feed appears to increment in bundles. Is this a "practical" difference? I don't know. Is this a difference in the data feeds or how SC handles the data? I don't know. If I think it might effect my trading, I report it. I think it is for every individual to decide which they prefer.
