Seems like TB cannot find your CSI ascii files.
Hope this is some help.

Okay yes you are right, Coffee slippage is worse that Orange Juice. In the last week I have made three transactions in OJ. First 3 lot slipped 0.35 Second 3 lot slipped 0.75 And today I rolled over using a spread and slipped 0.65 on 6 contracts. The fill came back in about 20 min. So in less than a ...

Edward Kim, it's not that I doubt what you say.It's just that my broker is
"notoriously bad". At times I have experienced fills more that one cent above my buy stops. Relative to the other markets I trade, OJ is the slippage leader.

I have used DTN for the last four years, and found them to be reliable, with the exception of two breakdowns. If on the satelite feed they provide a wonderful receiver / 486 computer, complete with a noisy 600 mb hardisk, and "DOS" as well as the operating software. You pay an extra charge...

I am using Lind Waldock, and have found the fills to be very good. However at $30RT a bit expensive. Coffee fills have been good trading
1-3 contracts , the occasional bad fill but in fast market conditions.(The worst fill I received was off by .5 point- $187.50 Overall
fine.
