They need 10,453.92 to be green for the quarter and year. Bit of a stretch but maybe.

They jammed us for 2:00, I saw a 1200+ TICK, but we didn't go very far. SPX got a new HOD, but nothing else.

I had always assumed there were "official" numbers for the indicators and statistics. Then I went looking to try and figure out why the TRINQ IB was displaying didn't seem to match up at times. After 2-3 weeks of looking, I found out the real story. And it's not just the numbers, but your charts too can vary since they depend on the data and also the charting software used. Any time frame less than a day, open and close are official numbers, is open to interpretation. Usually it's all close enough. You do though need to be aware that there is no such thing as 100% accurate. There is going to be some slop and error in it no matter what you do to the data. What's one do with a late reported trade? Nobody in their right mind would try and figure out where it should have been reported. And depending on how it fits in with the rest of the data, may or may not get tossed. Most of the time good enough, but it is nice to know what you are looking at and where it came from.
