hi carnot11 - luks like u use sharekhan's trade tiger.
even if u fetch 1sec data via snap to excel thru josh's utility, it misses many ticks. the same u wudnt be able to identify by seeing only price. reason is amibroker is incapable of handling 1sec data and give clearer & cleaner visual picture.
if u wanna see how many ticks have been missed, just plot volume (open volume in new window) and see. 9 outta 10 times it misses big volumes!
wid due respect to kanitkar's work and contribution to trader's community, if his utility is also same then no point in giving a single penny!
wt say?

If Kanitkar's utility is missing ticks then it is not good. Might as well use utility by Josh which is free.
Yesterday I was scanning website of Kanitkar, there are three products
1. EOD - which downloads data after close (no use for real time data requirement)
2. Ami plugin - gives real time data fetching, people using this product should be able to tell if there are any missing ticks.
3. Ami combo - also gives real time data fetching, people using this product should be able to tell if there are any missing ticks.
I am unable to figure out the difference between product 2 and 3.
In the end, if there are any missing ticks then both 2 and 3 product are of no use for real time analysis and trading.
I also request people using RT data provider services like NLCRT, Investbulls, etc... to check and tell us if there are any missing ticks. Missing ticks are evident by different candle size in Ami and charting platform however once the back fill is done, the two charts should match perfectly. If they don't then it is not good data, better to terminate the service.
Slight minor variations may be expected due to different source of data.
Even Angel, Sharekhan and Google data do not match candle to candle, but this difference is negligible for real time analysis and trading, in my opinion.
Enjoy,
CArnot
