Post From: Accurate NYSE TICK Data

One thing we can say with certainty at this point is the Sierra Chart TICK calculation algorithm is probably the very best out there since so much work has been put into it. So there is no misunderstanding about what we said, we are referring to the algorithm. If the input data it has a problem, then it will affect the result. But the algorithm is excellent.

So the question remains, is the final result less accurate than others are more accurate? We think the answer to this question is that there is there is no 100% definite answer to this and it probably does vary at times. And logically, other TICK statistics that you look at that you may think are correct, really are not necessarily any better. They are just giving different results due to different calculation algorithms and different input data.

If the SC TICK is less "accurate" (and this can be subjective) at times, then this possibly could be improved upon by us using a different source data feed. And we are going to experiment with that, but it is quite a significant task. So at this point, we will be looking at this further, but not likely to have any new information for a couple of months.
