Thanks OAC, zoltran,
I've never been able to figure out how much "massaging" of the data goes on by data providers to get rid of bad ticks. I gather from what you've said, however, that it is extensive.

My hope was to use Ninjatrader to get the magnificent Market Profile plug-in that you can buy for it. It's pricey ($230) but it's so wildly superior to anything native to Tradestation or created for Tradestation that I'd really like to have it on my charts. However, it looks like the OpenTick idea is also a bust.
I wonder how much a market profile would be thrown off by bad ticks. Hmmmm.

Anyway, thanks again. I guess the search continues.
Taz
