    Rosicrucians believe we are reincarnated every 144 years.

    Franz is probably a Rosicrucian.

    Therefore, the 144-tick chart.

    Or, he is just plain nuts. I think he is just plain nuts.

    Thanks for the answer. But if I am usually able to see executions one by one on an Time and Sales window (on my NT), where is the bundling done? Is it perhaps that the CME sends data at a given interval (say, 1/10th second) and that much becomes a "bundle", whether it's 0 or 1 or even 300 contracts during news events?

    You've got a point there. Thanks. However, I would only take his offer for $99.99 max.

    Just curious if you confirmed his charts were in realtime. Did you pull up your own realtime chart of what he was trading?

    I did, and as soon as I changed to 144 ticks, they seemed remarkably similar (his were delayed about a second, since they were coming from his hotComm room).

    233 is much more secret and special than 144 because it is both a fib sequence AND fib spiral number ! That's why I use 233 ticks on IB , I'm not rich yet but just give me 233 years screen time and Goldman Sucks will be my biatch.
