Hot List quotes refreshing rate

[tradermars]

it was stated that the reason for $compq not starting before 9.45.30 (eastern).. was because 1. I was not subscripted to real time quotes for the symbol.. and 2. the quotes were delayed times from the exchange which were 15 minutes delayed..

if that is so..

why are my quotes for $TICK.. only being refreshed every 30 to 40 seconds on the Hot List area.. and every 6 second when a chart of the symbol is open.. to which I am subscripted..

what is wrong with the Hot List not quoting properly...
