Me and my friend have the exact same settings and are viewing the exact same chart but his chart has candles looking like they’re ending and starting at different times and prices. We’re using volumetric data for ninjatrader 8. Any idea?
If you and your friend are using different data providers, you are very likely to get different data.
Even with the same data provider it is theoretically possible to get slightly different data in real time. This could happen if the data server gets too busy and doesn’t provide all the exact trades to all the systems that it’s serving, or there are network glitches anywhere along the way, or your system is too busy and not keeping up with incoming data, or any number of other unpredictable factors. This could lead to results deviating on different platforms even with all the same settings.
thanks for the reply! yeah we’re both using the same provider, just cme data subscription from ninjatrader… makes sense though.
