After paper trading (again) for some time, I'm evaluating brokers/platforms.
Using the TWS feed for the first time (with ZeroLine trader front end) it looked like WWIII had broken out on the YM contract. 1m bars were ranging 100 ticks. My buy stop netted 400 ticks in 5 minutes! Woohoo! Sadly, not only was the range offset from reality by ~ 1000 ticks, the volume of each bar was almost identical, a la constant range/volume bars.
As far as I know demo data is delayed, but the YM September contract had the correct time stamp on the T&S. Are they using fantasy data? I made a movie this morning of TOS vs. IB Dom and T&S. I'd appreciate a nudge in the right direction if I've completely missed the boat on this. It's difficult to make a meaningful eval under these conditions.

well the above post only shows the cap link in IE.wtf?
But anyway I found my answer- for some reason I thought the TWS server had delayed data but it is simulated, and not very well.

Carry on!
