Post From: Rithmic millisecond not working right

I never even tested MC since I'm fully content with SC, so have no idea how buggy or not MC is.
Just stated a fact.

As far as SC explained so far, they don't provide the "real" time based millisecond timestamp of every tick, the one the exchange or ticker plant provides. they simply run a counter and give a numeric ID for every new tick in a single second. so if you have 4 ticks in a second, their "timestamps" will look like this:
Tick 1 = HH:MM:SS.000
Tick 2 = HH:MM:SS.001
Tick 3 = HH:MM:SS.002
Tick 4 = HH:MM:SS.003

That's even if tick 1 came 14ms into that second (HH:MM:SS.014) and tick 2 came 947ms into that second (HH:MM:SS.947) etc.
You can't build phase charts out of that or do any real time analysis with that.
