The prior post has been updated. And to prove what we said is true, this is from the CME: Start of event processing time (UTC). UTC Timestamps are sent in number of nanoseconds since Unix epoch synced to a master clock to microsecond accuracy. Even they do not even offer nanoseconds. As we said this is so minute to be impossible to have legitimacy or accuracy. And who's to say that master clock is continuously accurate. It can drift. We have no confidence, in precision from the CME.We really do not regard any time stamping below milliseconds, to be legitimate or trustworthy or accurate. To treat timestamps as if somehow they are the word of God is a mistake. You really do not know the truth of what is really going on. And for the simple reason to be able to sustain 100% precision to the microsecond level is very very challenging and as a practical matter impossible.
