Interactive Brokers and NYSE TICK

Hello Traders,

Can someone please tell me if they use IB to provide the data necessary to get the NYSE Tick chart?

I have just finished watching trading with NYSE Tick on YouTube and I learned that not all data feed providers present the same NYSE Tick readings. As IB is a broker as opposed to data feed providers such as esignal I was wondering if someone could tell me if they think I would be at a disadvantage using IB for my NYSE Tick readigs?

Cheers

Carlton

 

NYSE-tick from tradestation is different from IB

 

IB does not provide true tick data - only a sampling

 

James,

Thanks for responding. I understand that IB provide snapshot / cumulative tick data.

However, I'm sure they provide $TICK data. I'm looking at it right now. I would like to know if its reliable?

Cheers

Carlton
